Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Prevalence of neurological manifestations

    Proportion of patients with neurological symptoms out of all hospitalized COVID19 patients during study period.

    During hospital course, up to 1 month

  • Hospital Mortality

    At hospital discharge, approximately 1 month

  • Global functional outcomes using modified Rankin score

    Patients will be assessed on a scale score of 0 (no symptoms at all) to 5 (severe disability; bedridden, incontinent and requiring constant nursing care and attention)

    At hospital discharge, approximately 1 month

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Length of ICU stay

    At hospital discharge, approximately 1 month

  • Length of hospital stay (in days)

    At hospital discharge, approximately 1 month

  • 30-day mortality

    30 days from the first day of hospitalization

  • 90-day mortality

    90 days from the first day of hospitalization
