Long-term neurological symptoms after acute COVID-19 illness requiring hospitalization in adult patients: insights from the ISARIC-COVID-19 follow-up study

Abstract

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has devastated healthcare systems and public health globally. Many patients develop a wide spectrum of persisting or new symptoms 3 months after the acute COVID-19 illness (long-COVID-19), and these symptoms can persist for at least 2 months. There is significant variability in the definitions with the lack of standardization and hence the reported frequency of long-COVID-19 also varies.
