“…In studies focused on the interplay of specific cognitive disorders with COVID-19, neurodegenerative dementia is the most actively studied, with parallels drawn from neuropathology to animal models (10,11). Recently, a detailed cognitive and neuroimaging evaluation of patients with pre-existing dementia, 1 year following SARS-CoV-2 infection, showed a worsening of cognitive symptoms with a specific pattern of decreased attention, executive dysfunctions, delayed information processing speed, mood changes, and memory impairment, indicating an underlying disruption of frontal subcortical networks (12).…”

I am a Canadian patient-oriented researcher working with patient partners with cognitive disorders [notably, autism, learning disorders, and attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorders (ADHD)]. During work sessions together, I realized that their experience with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection felt very different than mine. Those who had been infected explained to the group that the virus had magnified their daily struggles and sometimes still does 3 years later. Symptoms like insomnia, shortterm memory issues, sensory overload, and concentration issues, with which they have been dealing for decades, became out of control and very distressing.Knowing that the long-term sequelae of COVID-19 infection impact similar cognitive processes in a third of infected patients months after the acute phase (1), asking if patients with pre-existing cognitive disorders may be at increased risk of further cognitive impairment following COVID-19 is a fair question. For my fellow partners with neurodevelopmental disabilities, the question is even essential, as, if backed with evidence, it could enable access to long COVID care.Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have become increasingly important in healthcare settings and are the main starting point for developing clinical practice guidelines. However, regarding the topic of the long-term interplay between neurodevelopmental disorders and the neurocognitive involvement of COVID-19, they might not be of great help. In two authoritative JAMA meta-analyses on long COVID prevalence and risk factors (1, 2), cognitive disorders are not once mentioned. This is not surprising since the individual studies they included were seldomly reporting on neurological or psychiatric disorders in the clinical characterization of their samples. The lack of reporting on those comorbidities is not the only barrier to better understand the potential association between cognitive disorders and long COVID cognitive sequelae. Most studies analyzed in those two meta-analyses excluded directly or indirectly the participation of people with cognitive impairments.
