NEW DELHI, Dec. 29, 2023 (TBINN)
Brain-function is impaired in patients following severe COVID-19, but no more than that of people hospitalised with illnesses like pneumonia and cardiac arrest with similar severity, new research has found.
Researchers found that patients hospitalised due to COVID-19 had worse cognitive, neurological and psychiatric effects than healthy participants after an 18-month follow-up period.
However, the researchers at University of Copenhagen, Denmark, also found that these deficits in brain-function were not significantly different to those in carefully matched patients requiring hospitalisation for pneumonia, myocardial infarction (cardiac arrest) or non-COVID-19, intensive care-requiring illness.
