“…The neurological manifestations of post‐COVID‐19 are increasingly reported in literatures; however, with diverse prevalences and risk factors associated with memory impairment. The prevalence of memory deficit in this study was 34.5% that was comparable to studies from France (34%), 22 Netherland (33%), 23 and Italy (31%), 24 while it was higher than studies from Bangladesh (19.2%) 25 and Norway (11%) 26 . The relatively high prevalence rate in our study could be attributed to the inclusion of both hospitalized and nonhospitalized patients.…”

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the prevalence of the long-term side effects of COVID-19, namely memory impairment among recovered patients, and obtaining the associated factors that link with memory impairment. It is a cross-sectional retrospective cohort study, that has been conducted from September to November 2022 in Iraq. People who were previously infected with COVID-19 were included.The study was performed by asking people to complete a questionnaire platform by either online or face-to-face interview. The Memory Assessment Clinic-Q (MAC-Q) test was utilized, scores that are equal or higher than 25 are indicative of memory decline. Thousand two hundred and eighty-seven participated in this study.However, only 1157 were included in the final analysis. Three hundred ninetynine (34.49%) have memory impairment after COVID-19 recovery. Female gender, older age group, repeated exposure to COVID-19 infections, severe diseases, and exposure to multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants were independent risk factors of memory deficit in post-COVID-19 survivors with a p-value of 0.0001, 0.02, 0.0001, 0.001, 0.0001 respectively. It is crucial to pay particular attention to psychosocial rehabilitation of such risky groups. COVID-19 vaccine administrations with booster shots are necessary steps to decrease the disease incidence and avoid subsequent post-COVID-19 symptoms.

“…This finding was concordant with result of other literatures, 32 whereas, others did not note such a finding. 3,25 Generally, older age patients have increased concomitant comorbid diseases, hence an increased risk of severe COVID-19 and consequently post-COVID-19 memory impairment.…”

“… 1 As the number of severe cases declines, it becomes imperative to anticipate and mitigate potential long-term consequences in individuals who have recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infection. Notably, a range of manifestations have been documented as sequelae thus far, including encephalitis, 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 memory loss, 6 headache (dizziness, nausea), 7 anosmia, and ageusia. 8 …”

“…Of particular interest, patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 have exhibited neurological symptoms such as headache, paresthesia, anosmia, dyslexia, ataxia, and alterations in mental status. 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 Additionally, the early stages of SARS-CoV-2 infection have been associated with transient structural abnormalities in the brain, 9 neuroinflammatory events, 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 and sensory loss such as anosmia. 8 Recent cases have reported the emergence of Parkinsonism in COVID-19 patients either during or shortly after SARS-CoV-2 infection, presenting symptoms such as rigidity, resting tremor in the upper extremities, and bradykinesia.…”

COVID-19 is an infectious respiratory disease that has had a significant impact, resulting in a range of outcomes including recovery, continued health issues, and the loss of life. Among those who have recovered, many experience negative health effects, particularly influenced by demographic factors such as gender and age, as well as physiological and neurological factors like sleep patterns, emotional states, anxiety, and memory. This research aims to explore various health factors affecting different demographic profiles and establish significant correlations among physiological and neurological factors in the post-COVID-19 state. To achieve these objectives, we have identified the post-COVID-19 health factors and based on these factors survey data were collected from COVID-recovered patients in Bangladesh. Employing diverse machine learning algorithms, we utilised the best prediction model for post-COVID-19 factors. Initial findings from statistical analysis were further validated using Chi-square to demonstrate significant relationships among these elements. Additionally, Pearson’s coefficient was utilized to indicate positive or negative associations among various physiological and neurological factors in the post-COVID-19 state. Finally, we determined the most effective machine learning model and identified key features using analytical methods such as the Gini Index, Feature Coefficients, Information Gain, and SHAP Value Assessment. And found that the Decision Tree model excelled in identifying crucial features while predicting the extent of post-COVID-19 impact.
