Jakarta, Spasi-id.com - Although it has been cured, it turns out the SARS-CoV-2 infection can have long-term effects, even after the patient has been cured from Covid-19. One of the long-term effects that Covid-19 survivors should be aware of are brain problems.
According to the study in Nature Medicine, neurological problems seem to be seven percent higher in Covid-19 survivors than in people who have never been exposed to Covid-19. Some brain problems that might be found in survivors are strokes, migraines, and depression.
At first glance, seven percent might look a little. But compared to the amount in the world today, it could be very significant. In the United States, that percentage is equal to 6.6 million people who have brain problems due to SARS-CoV-2 infections.

"Some things show long-term effects that are very destructive, this is part of the long-term Covid," clearly senior researcher and clinical epidemiologist from Washington University, Ziyad Al Aly MD, such as the WebMD, Thursday (29 / 9 / 2022).
This study was conducted by a research team from the Washington University School of Medicine using 154,000 U.S. veteran medical records. These veterans were diagnosed positive on March 1, 2020 to 15 January 2021.
The research team also used the data of 5.6 million people who didn't have Covid-19 in that period as an appeal. Not only that, but the research team used data that came from 5.8 million people before it was detected in the United States.
During the study, research teams monitor 44 different kinds of brain disorders experienced by Covid-19 survivors, both who were hospitalized and who were not. Some of those brain problems are strokes, migraines, depression, anxiety disorder, and brain fog or difficulty concentrating.
The broader coverage of participants makes this study different. As you know, some of the previous similar studies only focus on survivors being hospitalized.
From this study, the research team discovered that the brain problems were not only about the survivors of Covid-19 who previously experienced severe symptoms and needed hospital care. Brain problems are also found in previous healthy survivors and only suffer mild symptoms.
"No matter whether you're young or old, woman or man, or whether your race,
There are very few participants who have received the Covid-19 vaccine. The reason for this is that vaccines are being distributed in America in December 2020. According to Al Aly, giving vaccines can lower the risk of long-term brain problems due to Covid-19 is about 20 percent.
