Neurocognitive and psychiatric effects after mild COVID-19: meta-analytic evidence
The meta‑analysis discussed in this podcast reveals that adults recovering from COVID‑19 without major medical or psychiatric complications experience mild yet statistically significant cognitive deficits - particularly in processing speed, attention, memory, language, and executive function.
However, as the main author of this paper tells podcast editor and host, Dr Saima Chaudhry, the impairments generally fall below the threshold for clinical concern, with no evidence of profound neuropsychological dysfunction.
Dr Saima Chaudhry is an assistant professor of neurology at the Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University, Rhode Island, USA.
Dr Stephen Aita is a neuropsychologist in the Department of Neurology at the University of South Alabama, Whiddon College of Medicine, Mobile, Alabama, USA.
Read the paper on the JNNP website: Neurocognitive and psychiatric outcomes associated with postacute covid 19 infection (doi:10.1136/jnnp-2024-333950).
