Verbal Memory Deficits and Possible Memory Recovery in Long-Term COVID Patients

Norrman, Emil January 2023 (has links)
Little is known about verbal memory performance in long-term COVID as well as the trajectory of recovery of verbal memory in long-term COVID. Here, I examine verbal memory performance differences in long-term COVID patients and control participants as well as how patients’ verbal memory performances changed over time. In the cross-sectional part of the thesis, 33 patients and 45 controls were assessed using a cognitive test battery. In the longitudinal part, 27 patients were tested at two points in time. Controls performed significantly better in the verbal memory task compared to patients. However, patients performed better at the second time point. In conclusion, long-term COVID patients did increase their verbal memory performance but did not reach the level of a group of healthy controls. / Det saknas kunskap om verbalt minne vid long-term COVID samt hur återhämtningen ser ut för verbalt minne vid long-term COVID. Syftet med den här uppsatsen var därför att undersöka skillnader i prestation när det kommer till verbalt minne hos patienter med long-term COVID och kontrollpersoner samt hur patienternas prestation när det kommer till verbalt minne förändrades över tid. I uppsatsens tvärsnittsdel bedömdes 33 patienter och 45 kontroller med hjälp av ett kognitivt testbatteri. I den longitudinella delen testades 27 patienter vid två tidpunkter. Kontrollerna presterade signifikant bättre när det kommer till verbalt minne jämfört med patienterna. Dock presterade patienterna bättre vid den andra tidpunkten. Slutsatsen är att patienter med long-term COVID ökade sina prestationer i det verbala minnet, men nådde inte upp till samma nivå som en grupp friska kontroller.
