Description
Eduarda Boufleuer and co-authors gather cohort studies on the lasting mental and thinking effects of COVID-19, in a 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis. Many survivors report symptoms that persist long after infection. The team included only studies that followed adults for at least twelve weeks after illness.
From 2,456 records they kept 47 studies, covering 192,158 people in the pooled analysis. Anxiety was the most common lasting problem, at about 17 percent of survivors. Thinking problems followed at about 15 percent, then sleep trouble at 14 percent and depression at 11 percent. The studies varied a great deal, which the authors flag as a limit. They call for long-term monitoring of survivors and public policies that fund support for these effects.
