Cognitive Sequelae of COVID-19: Examining the Role of Disease Severity, Symptom Burden, and Comorbid Conditions
Juan A Serrano Salcedo, PsyD; Yazdel Guzman-Echevarria, PsyD; Antonio E Puente, PhD; Mairim Vega-Carrero, PsyD
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disproportionately affects minority groups, with Hispanic/Latinos being three times more likely to contract COVID-19 and twice as likely to succumb to the virus compared to the general population (Oppel et al., 2020). This effect is likely mediated by multiple health determinants, including access to care and pre-existing conditions (Berger et al., 2021). Although little is known about the cognitive profile of COVID-19, its impact varies significantly among different minority groups (Khullar et al., 2024). The objective of this study was to examine relationships between cognitive functioning and COVID-19 severity indicators (hospitalization, symptom burden, and pre-existing conditions) in Puerto Rican adults who recovered from the virus.
Data was collected from 59 participants (over age 21) who completed the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI), Neuro-QOL Item Bank v2.0 – Cognition Function, and a sociodemographic/medical history questionnaire through PsychData.
Congratulations to Dr. Juan Serrano for winning this year's Division 40 poster award! 🥇
