Cognitive functioning and brain MRI findings six months after acute COVID-19. A prospective observational study
We observed a significant association between the presence of CMBs and lower cognitive scores, regardless of COVID-19 history. However, our results do not support CMBs to be independently associated with cognitive functioning. Additionally, WMH burden was associated with lower cognitive scores.
