Resumen


Resumen

Introducción: la COVID-19 está asociada a múltiples complicaciones, además de las producidas a nivel pulmonar. Se han detectado déficits cognitivos post COVID-19 en el dominio cognitivo de atención y función ejecutiva, incluso 4 meses despues del COVID-19.

Objetivo: determinar la alteración cognitiva en pacientes recuperados de COVID-19.

Métodos: se realizó un estudio transversal, descriptivo y analítico. Se integraron expedientes de pacientes en atención posterior a infección por SARS-CoV-2, se aplicó la prueba Neuropsi. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva y pruebas de asociación a través de la prueba Chi cuadrada, tomando como significativo p<0.05.

Resultados: Se integraron datos de 44 expedientes. La mediana de la edad, los ubico en la sexta década de la vida. Hubo predominio de los hombres (63.6%). Las comorbilidades más frecuentes fueron la hipertensión arterial sistémica (50%) y diabetes mellitus (40.9%). La mayoría de los pacientes fueron manejados solamente en domicilio (61.4%) con un cuadro de COVID-19 moderado-severo (68.2%). Las dimensiones más afectadas de la prueba de Neuropsi fueron la atención y concentración (47.7%, alteración leve) y memoria a corto plazo (77.3%, alteración leve).

Conclusiones: El deterioro cognitivo en pacientes recuperados de COVID-19 valorado a través de la prueba Neuropsi presento alteraciones leves en la atención y concentración, así como en la memoria a corto plazo. Estas podrian afectar la funcionalidad, calidad de vida y capacidad de desempeño laboral.

 

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 is associated with multiple complications, in addition to those produced at the pulmonary level. Post-COVID-19 cognitive deficits have been detected in the cognitive domain of attention and executive functions, even 4 months after COVID-19.

Objective: to determine the frequency of cognitive alterations in patients recovered from COVID-19.

Material and methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study was carried out. Records of patients in care after infection by SARS-CoV-2 were integrated, the Neuropsi test was applied. Descriptive statistics and association tests were used through the Chi square test, taking p < 0.05 as significant.

Results: Data from 44 files were integrated. The median age, I place them in the sixth decade of life. There was a predominance of men (63.6%). The most frequent comorbidities were systemic arterial hypertension (50%) and diabetes mellitus (40.9%). Most of the patients were managed only at home (61.4%) with a moderate-severe COVID-19 picture (68.2%). The most affected dimensions of the Neuropsi test were attention and concentration (47.7%, mild alteration) and short-term memory (77.3%, mild alteration).

Conclusions: Cognitive impairment in patients recovered from COVID-19 assessed through the Neuropsi test presented mild alterations in attention and concentration, as well as in short-term memory. These could affect functionality, quality of life and ability to perform work.
