CANDLE: a clinical score for stratifying stroke risk among patients hospitalized with COVID-19 Infection.

CANDLE Parameters	Multivariable HR (95% CI)
Cerebrovascular disease history	2.5 (1.9–3.4)
Afebrile temperature (<38.3 °C)	2.1 (1.3–3.4)
No pulmonary disease history	1.8 (1.2–2.6)
Disorder of hypertension	1.9 (1.4–2.7)
Leukocytosis (WBC count >11 K/uL)	1.7 (1.2–2.2)
Elevated systolic blood pressure (>140 mm Hg)	1.7 (1.3–2.2)

Abbreviations: HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; WBC, white blood cell.

^aMultivariable Cox regression was used to examine the independent association between baseline clinical parameters and the risk of an acute cerebrovascular event.
