Cognitive sequelae in post-COVID-syndrome: a Danish-Swedish case-control study
PCS was associated with reduced cognitive processing speed compared to fully recovered controls with those infected early in the pandemic having greater deficits. Psychological distress and hand grip strength were affected in patients with PCS, but not decisively associated with cognitive performance.
