Cognitive, EEG, and MRI features of COVID-19 survivors: a 10-month study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

To explore cognitive, EEG, and MRI features in COVID-19 survivors up to 10 months after hospital discharge.

Methods

Adult patients with a recent diagnosis of COVID-19 and reporting subsequent cognitive complaints underwent neuropsychological assessment and 19-channel-EEG within 2 months (baseline, N = 49) and 10 months (follow-up, N = 33) after hospital discharge. A brain MRI was obtained for 36 patients at baseline. Matched healthy controls were included. Using eLORETA, EEG regional current densities and linear lagged connectivity values were estimated. Total brain and white matter hyperintensities (WMH) volumes were measured. Clinical and instrumental data were evaluated between patients and controls at baseline, and within patient whole group and
