Emerging Evidence for Neuropsycho-Consequences of COVID-19

Jingwen Li et al.

Summary: Apart from common respiratory symptoms, COVID-19 may also cause neurological symptoms such as acute cerebrovascular disease and muscle pain. The virus can spread through various routes, and the epidemic can also impact the mental health of the public and medical staff, highlighting the importance of psychological crisis intervention.

Neuroimaging and neurologic findings in COVID-19 and other coronavirus infections: A systematic review in 116 patients

Sanaz Katal et al.

Summary: This paper systematically reviewed the imaging findings of patients with neurological symptoms associated with coronavirus infections, demonstrating diverse radiologic results in the context of different neurologic presentations. While many patients have normal imaging evaluations, some also present with abnormalities. Various neurologic abnormalities, such as stroke and encephalomyelitis, require attention during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Serum Neurofilament Light Chain Levels in the Intensive Care Unit: Comparison between Severely Ill Patients with and without Coronavirus Disease 2019

Raoul Sutter et al.

Summary: There is increasing evidence for various neurological manifestations of COVID-19, with higher sNfL concentrations observed in critically ill patients with COVID-19 compared to healthy controls and critically ill non-COVID-19 patients. Elevated sNfL levels were associated with unfavorable short-term outcomes, indicating common and pronounced neuronal injury in critically ill patients.

Neurological symptoms and blood neurofilament light levels

Christian Barro et al.

Summary: NfL serves as a specific marker for neuronal injury, but lacks specificity for the cause or location of the damage, potentially indicating disease activity in neurological conditions. The utility of NfL in different diseases has been reviewed, revealing its universal nature as a marker of neuronal damage that extends beyond individual diseases, with potential benefits from considering the relationship between neurological symptoms and blood NfL levels.

A prospective study of long-term outcomes among hospitalized COVID-19 patients with and without neurological complications

Jennifer A. Frontera et al.

Summary: Long-term outcomes of COVID-19 hospitalized patients, particularly those with neurological complications, showed impairments in daily living activities, cognition, anxiety, depression, and sleep. Patients with neurological complications had significantly worse functional outcomes compared to those without.
