IntroductionThe novel and expanding field of long COVID research has undergone diverse methodological approaches in recent years. This protocol lays out the methodological approach, which aims at identifying nuances in current research. It underscores the necessity for a more precise understanding of prolonged cognitive sequelae and their relation to initial disease severity. The findings will add valuable insights for the development of targeted rehabilitation, healthcare interventions and thereby aid patients, clinicians, policymakers and researchers. Our upcoming research is introduced here.Methods and analysisTo map current research in the field, a scoping review will be conducted and documented in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Review Extension standards. A systematic search of scientific databases (PubMed, EMBASE), presented 1409 eligible results, published up to 21 December 2023. After removal of duplicates, 925 articles were extracted for screening. Two independent reviewers will screen for titles, abstracts and full texts, to extract data, which will then be organised using charting software. Data for various variables, that is, journal info, studied population demographics, study design, long COVID related data, cognitive outcomes and neuropsychological tests will be gathered. Descriptive analyses, evidence gap maps, heat map quantifications and narrative synthesis will be conducted for reporting of results.This scoping review has been registered with the Open Science Framework (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/JHFX6).Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required, as the study does not involve human participants. The findings will be disseminated through a publication in a scientific journal and within the professional network.

Background Previous studies have found adverse effects on mental health following infection with SARS-CoV-2. This study investigates whether mental health is also impaired in unknowingly infected individuals. In addition, the relevance of the severity of the infection and the time since the onset of infection were analyzed. Methods Data from the population-representative Gutenberg COVID-19 Study (GCS) were used (N = 2,267). SARS-CoV-2 infection was determined multimodally by self-report, throat swabs (acute infections) and antibody measurements (previous infections). Participants completed self-report questionnaires on mental health. Results Neither unknowing nor knowing SARS-CoV-2 infection had an impact on mental health. However, symptom severity and previous depression or anxiety predicted higher levels of depressiveness, anxiety and somatic complaints. Our results confirm findings suggesting that the severity of the initial infection and previous mental illness, but not knowledge of the infection, are the most important predictors of negative mental health outcomes following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Conclusion The results suggest that mental health care should focus on individuals who suffer from a severe acute COVID-19 infection or have a history of mental illness.

Background Mental health is receiving increasing attention in the field of long COVID. This study aims to compare the differences in long COVID symptoms between individuals with pre-existing depression and those without and assess the impact of pre-existing depression on the risk of long COVID and on the number of symptoms. Methods Data were from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), participants aged 50 and older. Pre-existing depression was assessed by the EURO-D scale (October 2019-March 2020). Long COVID symptoms were reported by participants (June/August 2020 - June/August 2021). We compared the differences in long COVID symptoms among individuals with pre-existing depression and those without pre-existing depression with the Chi-squared test. P values from all tests were corrected using the Holm-Bonferroni correction. A multilevel (random intercept) hurdle negative binomial model was employed to assess the impact of pre-existing depression on the risk of long COVID and the number of symptoms and to explore effect modification by age, gender, and physical diseases. Results Of the 2063 participants who contracted COVID-19 (mean [SD] age, 68.0[8.5] years; 1259(61%) women. A higher number of individuals with pre-existing depression reported headache (32.2% vs 25.9%; P value = 0.027), body aches/joint pain (38.5% vs 29.4%; P value < 0.001), and confusion(10.6% vs 7.6%;P value < 0.01) than those without pre-existing depression. Pre-existing depression did not have a statistically significant impact on the risk of long COVID (adjusted OR = 1.00; 95% CI = 0.78–1.26). Among individuals reporting long COVID symptoms, Pre-existing depression was significantly related to the number of symptoms associated with long COVID (adjusted RR = 1.16; 95% CI = 1.07–1.25). The effect of pre-existing depression on the number of symptoms is moderated by the comorbid physical conditions. Conclusions This suggests a complex interplay between pre-existing depression and physical health, highlighting the importance of considering mental health factors in the management of long COVID patients.
