Neurologic Outcomes of Survivors of COVID-19–Associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Requiring Intubation

CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19–associated acute respiratory distress syndrome requiring intubation led to slight-to-severe functional disability in about 60% of survivors 4 months after ICU discharge. Cognitive impairment, muscle weakness, and psychologic symptoms were frequent. A large multicenter study is warranted to allow identification of modifiable factors for improving long-term outcome.
