Abstract

This article focuses on the relationship between the duration of COVID-19 symptoms and self-reported cognitive problems. Using data from 173 U.S. residents with active COVID-19 symptoms, the study found that longer symptom duration significantly predicted increased reports of cognitive issues such as brain fog, difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, word-finding problems, and confusion. Forgetfulness showed the strongest association, with a 47% increase in likelihood per unit increase in symptom duration. The findings highlight the importance for healthcare providers to consider cognitive symptoms when assessing patients with chronic COVID-19, though causality cannot be established from this cross-sectional data.
