Large collective learning

Now, an article has been published in a scientific journal Nature Medicine has been evaluated Various neurological sequelae Disease is produced within one year after infection, and this was done in a large cohort: 154,068 covid 19 patients, 5,638,795 contemporary controls, and 5,859,621 historical controls. Data were obtained from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs Health Database.

With this approach, they determined that during the acute phase of Covid-19, the risk of neurological sequelae is higher. 1.42 and a rate of 70.69 per 1,000 personsEven in people who do not need hospitalization during the acute phase of the disease.

At the level of health policy, this affects the need to continue to take into account, Preventive measures Use of masks or vaccination, as well as implementing long-term strategies to care for all potentially infected people.
