Frequency and correlates of subjective cognitive complaints and objective cognitive screening results in African American adults following COVID-19 infection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Subjective cognitive complaints are frequent following COVID-19 infection, but assessment of whether these complaints map onto objective cognitive findings may not be routine in busy clinical settings. Consequently, opportunities to confirm these complaints and to provide follow-up referrals and appropriate care may be missed, thereby impacting patients' functional independence and quality of life. African Americans are vulnerable to poor outcomes from COVID-19, and thus represent a minority group in whom subjective concerns are especially important to investigate. Towards this end, we examined the frequency and correlates of subjective complaints and objective screening results of African American patients referred to the Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) Clinic
