Changes in cognitive functioning after COVID‐19: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

“…The quality of case‐control and cohort studies was assessed judging three categories: the selection of the study groups, the comparability of the groups; and the ascertainment of either the exposure or outcome of interest for case‐control or cohort studies, respectively. In summary, when using the Agency for Health Research and Quality (AHRQ) threshold standards, 9 of the 20 studies were good, 15,23,25,27,29,32,33,36,31 1 was fair, 28 and 10 were poor 10–12,14,16,24,30,34,35,37 …”

“…Conversely, a cohort study on moderate to severe hospitalized patients 10 to 35 days after hospital discharge found that patients who required oxygen had lower punctuations in verbal memory (P = .030), visual memory (P = .050), attention (P = .002), working memory (P = .036), complex working memory (P = .027), processing speed (P = .035), and the global cognitive index (P = .010), compared to ICU patients who only had worse executive functions (P = .037). 28 Accordingly, two studies 34,35 compared ICU versus non-ICU post-COVID patients and found significantly more severe and broad impairment in ICU patients.…”

Cognitive impairment in people with previous COVID-19 infection: A scoping review

“…Participants’ cognitive evaluations were conducted at different times since symptoms onset; that is, most of the studies (17/25) reported data related to the first 3 months, whereas the other eight studies reported data within the first four ( Mattioli et al, 2021 ; Mattioli et al, 2022 ; Miskowiak et al, 2021 ), 6 ( Aiello et al, 2022 ; Albu et al, 2021 ; Graham et al, 2021 ) and 6 + months ( Del Brutto et al, 2021 ; Frontera et al, 2021 ) from acute infection.…”

“…Memory was assessed in 10 studies as immediate recall, delayed recall ( Aiello et al, 2022 ; Albu et al, 2021 ; Almeria et al, 2020 ; Bonizzato et al, 2021; Di Pietro et al, 2021 ; Hosp et al, 2021 ; Mattioli et al, 2021 ; Mattioli et al, 2022 ; H. Zhou et al, 2020 ), and working memory ( Albu et al, 2021 ; Bonizzato et al, 2021; Almeria et al, 2020 ; Di Pietro et al, 2021 ; Graham et al, 2021 ; Hosp et al, 2021 ; H. Zhou et al, 2020 ).…”
