Abstrakt: Background: In this COVID-19 Critical Care Consortium (CCCC) sub-study, we qualified neurological complications associated with SARS-CoV2 infection.
Methods: The CCCC is an international, multicenter study. Eligible patients were COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU) across 23 centers between 1/7/2020 to 6/23/2022. Incidence of neurological complications was estimated as number of events per hospital days and per admission using Poisson regression. Associations between neurological complications and risk factors were assessed using multivariable Poisson regression.
Results: 713 patients were included. Median age = 56 years (interquartile range (IQR) = 45-65). Neurological complications reported in 61/480 patients (12.7%) with the majority being ischemic stroke (2.9%), intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) (2.8%), and seizures (2.6%). Multivariable analysis for neurological complications per admitted days showed comorbid neurological conditions (incidence rate ratio (IRR) = 6.35, 2.57-15.7) were an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (IRR = 5.32, 1.52-18.6), low-middle income countries (LMIC) vs high income countries (HIC) (IRR = 4.70, 1.62-13.7), and age >55 (IRR = 3.66, 1.23-10.9) were independent risk factors for ICH. Co-morbid neurological conditions (IRR = 3.43, 1.11-10.6), LMIC vs HIC (IRR = 8.69, 2.15-35.2), July-December 2020 vs January-June 2020 (IRR = 0.17, 0.04-0.69) and age >55 (IRR = 4.05, 1.15-14.3) were independent risk factors for seizure.
Conclusions: Decision-making should incorporate salient risk factors to inform management of SARS-CoV2 infection and avoid neurological complications.
