Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. 2020;78(4):1367-1372. doi:10.3233/JAD-2009371387-287710.3233/JAD-200937https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/117605We analyzed the frequency of cognitive impairment (CI) in deceased COVID-19 patients at a tertiary hospital in Spain. Among the 477 adult cases who died after admission from March 1 to March 31, 2020, 281 had confirmed COVID-19. CI (21.1% dementia and 8.9% mild cognitive impairment) was a common comorbidity. Subjects with CI were older, tended to live in nursing homes, had shorter time from symptom onset to death, and were rarely admitted to the ICU, receiving palliative care more often. CI is a frequent comorbidity in deceased COVID-19 subjects and is associated with differences in care.engjournal article1875-8908https://doi.org/10.3233/JAD-20093733074239https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.3233/JAD-200937https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33074239/restricted access616.98:578.834COVID-19Cognitive impairmentDementiaMorbidityMortalityCiencias BiomédicasMedicina32 Ciencias Médicas3205.05 Enfermedades Infecciosas
