Evaluation of Early Cognitive Functions in Patients With COVID-19 Infection

Abstract

In December 2019, some pneumonia cases emerged in Wuhan, China.It was named as Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) by the World Health Organization.Patients developed anxiety and sleep problems after treatment. Patients with confirmed COVID-19 (n = 57) admitted to our study and whose treatment was completed 3 months ago were included in the study. This is a case-control study, and 22 patients included the control group. We found statistical significance between the average score of Beck anxiety and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index ( p = 0.03, p = 0.01).In our study, we investigated the psychological conditions that may occur in the postacute COVID-19 period. We recommend that patients should be directed to appropriate clinics for rehabilitation. Clinicians must be aware that prompt and correct diagnosis with careful management is essential for recovery.

The Lasting Legacy of COVID-19: Exploring the Long-Term Effects of Infection, Disease Severity, and Vaccination on Health and Cognitive Function

“…Our results also showed that the effects of COVID-19 infection on cognitive performance and functions were weak; a finding that was in disagreement with the former studies that reported significant adverse effects of both mild and acute COVID-19 on cognition 8,9,11,23 . This finding was somewhat in agreement with Zhou et al 13 who reported no significant difference between their patient group and controls in cognitive functions except for continuous and selective attention, and also another study that found no significant difference between the patient group and controls in terms of cognition 24 . Many of the studies that reported impairment in cognitive performance and functions recruited subjects with a history of acute COVID (e.g., 25,26 ).…”
