Attention deficits may linger for months in COVID-19 survivors, even after physical recovery
A new study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research has found that many individuals who were hospitalized with COVID-19 continue to show signs of impaired attention up to three months after discharge. Even patients who had recovered physically and did not require intensive care showed measurable deficits in sustained attention and reaction time. While some cognitive recovery occurred over time, a substantial portion of patients still displayed signs of attentional dysfunction months later.
