Severe cases of COVID-19 may be linked to brain complications, according to the first nationwide survey of the neurological complications of the disease.
The small, preliminary study was published in Lancet Psychiatry this week. Researchers surveyed patients in the U.K. in April who had both a new COVID-19 diagnosis and a new neurological or psychiatric diagnosis requiring hospital admission. Researchers found that, among the 125 patients, 57 had a stroke caused by a blood clot in the brain and 39 had an altered mental state.
