Neurocognitive Impairment Among Cryptococcal Meningitis Survivors in Uganda, a Prospective Cohort Study
Neurocognitive impairment is prevalent at 12 weeks post-treatment in HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis. Education level and Glasgow Coma Scale score <15 are associated with worse neurocognitive performance. Our findings underscore the need to further evaluate the impact of cryptococcal meningitis on neurocognitive outcomes.
