Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) contributes to dysfunction and increased mortality in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, whether COVID-19 causes early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with AIS and its underlying influencing factors are currently unclear. To ascertain the autonomous risk factors associated with END in stroke cases related to COVID-19. This is a retrospective observational study of data collected from November 2022 to February 2023 from patients with AIS complicated with COVID-19. The patients were divided into non-END and END groups, and their demographic characteristics, laboratory and imaging data were analyzed to investigate the risk factors for END in AIS patients complicated with COVID-19. A total of 83 patients were enrolled in this study, and divided in to END (n = 22) and non-END (n = 61) groups. We found that patients with high baseline the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (P = 0. 044), preexisting diabetes (P
