Mini-mental state examination in non-hospitalized post covid patients to identify cognitive decline
Abstract
The WHO referred to the SARS-CoV-2 illness as COVID-19, an acronym for ""coronavirus
disease 2019."" After an infection has cleared up, some individuals have experienced temporary
or even long-lasting cognitive problems. Patients with SARS-CoV-2 infections are included in
this. Many of these individuals, including those with mild disease, have reported deficits in
attention, executive functioning, language, processing speed, and memory, which are
collectively referred to as ""brain fog"" symptoms. This cognitive impairment syndrome
significantly increases the morbidity of post-Covid-19 diseases along with the prevalence of
anxiety, sadness, sleep disorders, and fatigue. Therefore, we performed the MMSE test to
determine whether or not non-hospitalized post-covid individuals experience cognitive decline.
The study's eligibility parameters called for participants to be over 25 and non-hospitalized
post-covid patients. Following this MMSE exam, it is evident that post-COVID individuals
who were not hospitalized will not experience any cognitive decline in the future. Because
Their average score, according to the results, was 29.1851. It is really almost on the spot. We
may not have detected any cognitive deterioration in the patient because we only tested a small
number of people.
