Neuropsychiatric Ramifications of Severe COVID-19 and Other Severe Acute Respiratory Infections.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Individuals surviving severe COVID-19 may be at increased risk of neuropsychiatric sequelae. Robust assessment of these risks may help improve clinical understanding of the post-COVID syndrome, aid clinical care during the ongoing pandemic, and inform postpandemic planning.

Objective

To quantify the risks of new-onset neuropsychiatric conditions and new neuropsychiatric medication prescriptions after discharge from a COVID-19-related hospitalization, and to compare these with risks after discharge from hospitalization for other severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Design, setting, and participants

In this cohort study, adults (≥18 years of age) were identified from QResearch primary care and linked electronic health recor
