Finally, to assess the relationship between intubation prior to MT and favorable discharge outcome (mRS 0-2), we estimated a generalized linear model with logit link to control for confounders including age, door to reperfusion time, tPA status, admission NIHSS, and location of LVO. On multivariate analysis, intubation status was associated with higher probability of in-hospital mortality (RR 1.871, 95% CI 1.066 to 3.284, P=0.029) and lower probability of functional 7 Ischemic stroke in the setting of COVID-19 might occur concurrently either from common stroke risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and atrial fibrillation, as a hypercoaguability-related complication due to COVID-19, a proinflammatory state, or due to decompensation in patients with underlying cerebrovascular disease such as extracranial or intra-cranial stenosis.	./cache/cord-334179-cjgsr7xr.txt	./txt/cord-334179-cjgsr7xr.txt
