Background:
Complications of COVID-19 can include neurological, psychiatric, psychological, and psychosocial sequelae. Little is known about the consequences of COVID-19 on the cognitive functions of patients in the subacute phase of the disease.
Objective:
The objective of the study was to determine if there is an incidence of cognitive impairment in patients with COVID-19 with mild to moderate symptoms in the remission phase.
Method:
This is a cross-sectional study conducted between April 2021 and August 2021 at the Eugenio Espejo Hospital in Quito, Ecuador. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment test was applied to COVID-19 patients with mild to moderate symptoms.
Results:
A total of 50 subjects were recruited, 88% (n = 44) presented cognitive deterioration and only 12% (n = 6) showed a normal score.
Conclusions:
In our cohort study, patients with COVID-19 with mild-moderate symptoms are at high risk of cognitive impairment.
