COVID-19 is known to affect the respiratory system but may also have an impact on other organ systems, including the brain. A number of severely ill patients also presents neurological symptoms that may be the result of COVID-19 associated brain damage. The aim of this study is to investigate the presence, type, and severity of brain damage as well as the neurological and neuropsychological sequelae of COVID-19 infection. Further, the impact of this infection on daily life functioning, quality of life, and the emotional well-being of family members will be assessed. In this multicenter study, 6-9 months after hospital discharge patients will undergo a 3-T MRI scan and a neuropsychological examination. Additionally, both patients and their family members will answer several questionnaires at 6- 9 and 12-15 months after hospital discharge. COVID-19 patients previously admitted to a general hospital ward will be compared with patients previously admitted to the intensive-care unit. The proposed study will create a more comprehensive picture of the prolonged COVID-19 effects on the brain, mental, and cognitive well-being. The findings will aid patient care and rehabilitation.

Eligibility | Inclusion Criteria: Patients: - Objectified COVID-19 infection for which ICU or non-ICU hospital admission was necessary at one of the participating hospitals - Age > 18 years - Sufficient command of the Dutch language to follow test instructions and understand questionnaires - Informed consent. Family members (if present): Within the scope of this study, the term family member will be defined as a person who has good insight into the patient´s daily life functioning (before and after COVID-19 infection). This person can be the spouse, partner, adult child or, in some cases, another individual that plays the most significant role in the patient´s life. The patient will decide who this family member is. We will check the following criteria: - Family member of a participant with COVID-19 infection as described above; - Requires participation of the aforementioned family member as COVID-19 patient - Age > 18 years - Sufficient command of the Dutch language to understand questionnaires - Informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: Patients: - objectified cognitive impairments before the hospital admission for the COVID-19 infection - an unexpected incident leading to severe neurological damage occurring after hospital discharge (such as stroke or traumatic brain injury) - contra-indications for MRI scanning (e.g. metal implants, cardiac pacemaker, claustrophobia, pregnancy). Family member: no exclusion criteria. |

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change in participation | Life participation (social, occupational, mobility) measured by the Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation-Participation - Restrictions subscale (USER-P-R).

Primary | Deficits in cognition | Deficits in general cognition are measured with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). | 6-9 months after hospital discharge | |
Primary | Deficits in memory | Measured with the Rey's auditory verbal learning test (RAVLT) | 6-9 months after hospital discharge | |
Primary | Deficits in visual attention & task switching | Measured with Trail Making Test A/B (TMT) | 6-9 months after hospital discharge | |
Primary | Deficits in selective attention, cognitive flexibility & processing speed | Measured with Stroop Test | 6-9 months after hospital discharge | |
Primary | Deficits in working memory, attention & executive function | Measured with Digit Span Coding | 6-9 months after hospital discharge | |
Primary | Change in subjective cognitive complaints | Assessed with the Checklist for post-IC cognitive complaints (CLC-IC) | 1) 6-9 months and 2) 12-15 months after hospital discharge | |
Primary | Change in depression/anxiety | Measured with the Hospital anxiety and depression scale | 1) 6-9 months and 2) 12-15 months after hospital discharge | |
Primary | Change in post-traumatic stress symptoms | Measured with the Primary Care Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PC-PTSD-5) questionnaire | 1) 6-9 months and 2) 12-15 months after hospital discharge | |
Primary | Change in family burden | Measured with the Caregiver Strain Index (CSI) | 1) 6-9 months and 2) 12-15 months after hospital discharge | |
Primary | Change in family quality of life | Measured by the EQ-5D-5L. The EQ-5D-5L consists of 5 items with 5 levels. The minimum total score is 5 and the maximum total score is 25, with higher scores indicating more problems. | 1) 6-9 months and 2) 12-15 months after hospital discharge | |
Secondary | MRI abnormalities (specific) | MRI abnormalities such as cerebral micro-infarctions / bleedings, and white matter hyperintensities. | 6-9 months after hospital discharge |
