ABSTRACT:

Background

COVID-19 is known to be associated to potentially fatal neurological complications; therefore, it is essential to understand the risk factors for its development and the impact they have on the outcome of COVID-19 patients.

Aims

To determine the risk factors for developing fatal neurological complications and their outcome in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
