Long-term neurological and cognitive impact of COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis in over 4 million patients
SHOCKING!
The prevalence rates for the different symptoms(>6m) were as follows:
- fatigue 43.3%
- memory disorders 27.8%
- cognitive impairment 27.1%
- sleep disorders 24.4%
- concentration impairment 23.8%
- headache 20.3%
- dizziness 16%
- stress 15.9%
- depression 14.0%
- anxiety 13.2%, and
- migraine 13%
‘In conclusion, this meta-analysis highlights the significant prevalence of long-term neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with COVID-19, including fatigue, depression, anxiety, cognitive impairment, sleep disturbances, and headaches.’
‘These persistent issues underscore the need for healthcare systems to prioritize mental health and cognitive care for post-COVID-19 patients.
‘Comprehensive, multidisciplinary strategies that address both physical and mental health are essential to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.’
‘Such efforts will support the development of targeted treatments, mitigating the pandemic’s enduring impact on mental health and enhancing overall wellbeing.’
Have a nice Sunday while letting this sink in!
To be honest, SHOCKING, yes, SURPRISED, NOT!
Please avoid reinfections for your own health and society’s sake!

Yet none of these papers can mention what your second tweet immediately covers – the importance of preventing infections to avoid this happening in the first place!
@JohannaBorde:
I wonder, what will happen when people have understood that they and their children have been cheated of their health?
I think too many people have COVID altered brains and will never understand what they allowed our “health” authorities to do to them and their children, and what they continue to do (eg Alberta’s hideous anti-health Danielle Smith charging for COVID jabs, and BC’s even more hideous Dr Bonnie Henry still lying to us). GOP and the tech rich get what they want: A super stupid population that will much more easily get conned by and addicted to AI, and their brains further permanently warped by it, making them easy to control and steal from.
@BernulliT:
Actually frightening, doc
@deonandan.bsky.social:
Up to 5.8 million US children now have Long COVID, making it the most common childhood chronic illness.
Know what reduces the risk of Long COVID? Vaccination.
Know what reduces it further? Booster shots.
Know what eliminates it? Not getting infected.

Abstract
Background
Neuropsychiatric symptoms emerged early in the COVID-19 pandemic as a key feature of the virus, with research confirming a range of neuropsychiatric manifestations linked to acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, the persistence of neurological symptoms in the post-acute and chronic phases remains unclear. This meta-analysis assesses the long-term neurological effects of COVID-19 in recovered patients, providing insights for mental health service planning.
Methods
A comprehensive literature search was conducted across five electronic databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO, and CENTRAL, up to March 22, 2024. Studies evaluating the prevalence of long-term neurological symptoms in COVID-19 survivors with at least six months of follow-up were included. Pooled prevalence estimates, subgroup analyses, and meta-regression were performed, and publication bias was assessed.
Results
The prevalence rates for the different symptoms were as follows: fatigue 43.3% (95% CI [36.1-50.9%]), memory disorders 27.8% (95% CI [20.1-37.1%]), cognitive impairment 27.1% (95% CI [20.4-34.9%]), sleep disorders 24.4% (95% CI [18.1-32.1%]), concentration impairment 23.8% (95% CI [17.2-31.9%]), headache 20.3% (95% CI [15-26.9%]), dizziness 16% (95% CI [9.5-25.7%]), stress 15.9% (95% CI [10.2-24%]), depression 14.0% (95% CI [10.1-19.2%]), anxiety 13.2% (95% CI [9.6-17.9%]), and migraine 13% (95% CI [2.2-49.8%]). Significant heterogeneity was observed across all symptoms. Meta-regression analysis showed higher stress, fatigue, and headache in females, and increased stress and concentration impairment with higher BMI.
Conclusions
Neurological symptoms are common and persistent in COVID-19 survivors. This meta-analysis highlights the significant burden these symptoms place on individuals, emphasizing the need for well-resourced multidisciplinary healthcare services to support post-COVID recovery.
Registration and protocol
This meta-analysis was registered in PROSPERO with registration number CRD42024576237.

@PfParks:
This is honestly too much. The Premier talking about 135M HC dollars just wasted and acting like she has NOTHING to do with why we are here. Everything she and her govt has done has brought us to this point, a thread to recap:
1- She has actively dismantled Public Health in AB
2- She was directly involved in the firing of our previous CMOH, not once but TWICE – sending a chill in PH to the point where AB cannot recruit expert leadership to the position
3- Blew up and disintegrated HC system
4- Moved PH into Alberta Health (recall that = bureaucrats and GOVT), and muzzled any active leadership or public presence of PH
5- AH oversees all PH comms, and her govt directly ordered the supression of vaccine education/info: https://buff.ly/l8I9PMd
6- Her govt actively engaging and bolstering fringe anti-vaccination crowd and helps spread misinformaton: https://buff.ly/DeLcN6a
7- She wastes 2M taxpayer dollars on a COVID “essay”, courting “contrarians” to further undermine trust in vaccines
7- Dismantled active vaccine education and campaigns, and pushed disseminated distribution of vaccines out into pharmacies (so disrupted coordinated vaccine delivery programs in AB)
8- set stage for lowest vaccine uptake numbers: not just Covid but Influenza, Measles…
9- set conditions for severe influenza season w inc Hosp admissions, and now the worse Measles outbreak in over HALF A CENTURY
10- PH currently run by non-expert bureaucrats – to the point where I can’t find a single PH expert who advised on govt’s new COVID vaccine policy
11- Not covering HCWs and seniors in independent living will have HUGE impacts on staffing absenteeism and hosp admissions – the costs here for overtime and hosp admissions will overwhelm any savings from charging for the vaccine in these groups!
ABs should be very aware: The Premier actively and directly created this problem… and there’s no end in sight. She continues to ignore expert input, and things will only get worse. HC Access will degrade further, and ABs will pay more for worse care.
Someone needs to remind the Premier that she’s running the province and ALL of this HC money being wasted is on her watch and because of her decisions.
The worsening HC outcomes and access metrics are because of her policy.
Her handpicked people are running the show!
She will try to blame “AHS” but:
- it doesn’t call the shots anymore, and is a fragment of what it used to be
- PH is completely controlled by AH (= govt) and has been muzzled and decimated
- all of her personally handpicked people (who she hasn’t fired) are running the show
@mikevlasic.bsky.social:
In Canada, it used to be that we’d always consider the greater good. Vaccinations are part of that, protecting yourself & everyone around you.
We seem to be losing it for dim cowboy individualism. I prefer the old way.

Coupled with the belief, entrenched by demented people like Danielle Smith and RFK Jr that their ignorance has more validity than science.
*** Meet Nimbus, new variant***
‘Razor Blade Throat’ Symptoms As ‘Nimbus’ COVID-19 Variant Spreads
….there have been more and more informal reports of a severe, razor blade-like soreness in the throat, which have corresponded with the emergence and rise of the NB.1.8.1 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 variant. This is the variant behind the recent COVID-19 surge in China and that’s now rapidly spreading in the U.S., as I recently detailed in Forbes. …
