Impacto del COVID-19 en el desempeño cognitivo de los pacientes recuperados al año de la infección: estudio de cohortes utilizando la herramienta MoCA-T
Introduction
Secondary cognitive impairment due to SARS-CoV-2 includes neurological and psychiatric manifestations. The impact of acute and subacute infection on cognition is clear, but to date, few studies have been conducted to identify the progression or persistence of these alterations.
Objective
To estimate the association between COVID-19 infection and the development of cognitive impairment.
Methodology
Observational, analytical, and prospective study of COVID-19 patients in two healthcare institutions in Cartagena. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were identified, and one year after discharge, the MoCA-T Test was applied. The comparative cohort included volunteers without neurocognitive comorbidities or history of COVID-19. The association of infection with cognitive impairment was assessed by estimating the relative risk (RR). Frequencies, median, and IQR were calculated. Hypothesis testing included Fisher's test and Mann-Whitney U test. RRs were adjusted using the Poisson regression model.
Results
138 patients were evaluated. The COVID-19 cohort included 70, with 45.7% reporting cognitive symptoms. The median MoCA-T score in COVID-19 patients was 18 (IQR: 15-20), compared to 20 (IQR: 19-20) in non-COVID individuals. Executive function, memory and language were the most affected domains. COVID-19 infection was significantly associated with MoCA-T score below 19 (RR: 2.22, 95% CI: 1.09-4.51).
Conclusions
COVID-19 infection is associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment. Patients exhibit mnemonic symptoms and attentional deficits, with lower performance on the MoCA-T test.
