It is widely accepted in the scientific community that many patients after recovery continue to experience COVID-19-related symptoms, including cognitive impairment. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the cognitive profile of patients with long-COVID syndrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Methods<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A systematic search of empirical studies was conducted through the PubMed\/Medline and Scopus electronic databases. Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies published between 2020 and 2023 were included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Results<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the 516 studies assessed for eligibility, 36 studies met the inclusion criteria. All included studies support the presence of persistent cognitive changes after COVID-19 disease. Executive function, memory, attention, and processing speed appear to be the cognitive domains that are predominantly associated with long-COVID syndrome, whereas language is an area that has not been sufficiently investigated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conclusions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this review, the high frequency of cognitive impairment after COVID-19 is evident. If we consider that cognitive functioning affects our ability to live independently and is a key determinant of our quality of life, it is imperative to precisely define those factors that may induce cognitive impairment in COVID-19 survivors, with the ultimate goal of early diagnosis of cognitive changes and, consequently, the development of targeted rehabilitation interventions to address them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eugenia Panagea,\u00a0Lambros Messinis,\u00a0Maria Christina Petri,\u00a0et. al..
