Objective To analyze patient-reported outcomes, cognitive function, and persistent symptoms in patients with neurologic post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (Neuro-PASC) Colombia. Methods We recruited laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 PASC lasting more than 6 weeks at the CES University Clinic (Medellín, Colombia). included 50 post-hospitalization Neuro-PASC (PNP) non-hospitalized (NNP) patients. Long-COVID symptoms, (NIH Toolbox v2.1-Spanish for 18+), (PROMIS) relevant medical history were evaluated. Statistical analyses performed via generalized linear models. Results Overall, brain fog (60%), myalgia (42%), numbness or tingling (41%) most common neurological while fatigue (74%), sleep problems (46%), anxiety (44%) non-neurological symptoms. Compared to NNP, PNP showed a higher frequency abnormal exam findings (64% vs. 42%, p = 0.028). Both groups had impaired quality life (QoL) domains cognition, fatigue, depression disturbance, worse on processing speed attention normative population. In addition, NNP executive function (T-score 42.6 48.5, 0.012). associated QoL outcomes. Brain remained across all durations Long COVID. Conclusion Our highlight high incidence heterogeneity impacts COVID even 2 years from disease onset. Early detection, emotional support targeted management are warranted.
