Background: Studies suggested that COVID-19 virus causes neurological and psychiatric manifestations with different mechanisms. However, prevalence of neurological and psychiatric manifestations among COVID-19 patients varies across studies from 18.1%: 82.3%. The objective of this study was to determine neuropsychiatric manifestations in a sample of Egyptian COVID-19 hospitalized patients during the second wave of the pandemic and to detect factors affecting neurological and psychiatric prevalence. This cross-sectional study was conducted at Ain Shams university isolation hospitals and included 110 hospitalized COVID-19 patients, over a 2-month period from June 2021 to August 2021. Patients underwent a careful history taking, full neurological examination including Mini-Mental State Examination, the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID I), COVID-19 severity criteria. Any available imaging and laboratory tests were recorded. Results: 83 (75.5%) patients had neurological manifestations. The most common neurological manifestations were headache (50.9%), hypogeusia (24.5%), hyposmia, paresthesia (23.6% each) and coma (15.5%). After exclusion of 17 patients who could not be examined by Mini-Mental State Examination, psychiatric manifestations were seen in 56 patients (61.5%) out of the remaining 91 patients. The most prevalent psychiatric disorders were delirium (30.8%), depression (19%), and adjustment disorder (17.5%). Moreover, hypertension, COVID-19 severity, place of admission, and high levels of LDH and ALT affected neurological manifestations prevalence. Conclusions: COVID-19 infection and its immune reaction along with its social and psychological effects have a great impact on mental and physical health. Hence, neuropsychiatric evaluation cannot be ignored in any case with COVID-19 infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
