abstract = {Background and purposeDuring acute coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) infection, neurological signs, symptoms and
complications occur. We aimed to assess their clinical
relevance by evaluating real-world data from a multinational
registry.MethodsWe analyzed COVID-19 patients from 127
centers, diagnosed between January 2020 and February 2021,
and registered in the European multinational LEOSS (Lean
European Open Survey on SARS-Infected Patients) registry.
The effects of prior neurological diseases and the effect of
neurological symptoms on outcome were studied using
multivariate logistic regression.ResultsA total of 6537
COVID-19 patients $(97.7\%$ PCR-confirmed) were analyzed, of
whom $92.1\%$ were hospitalized and $14.7\%$ died. Commonly,
excessive tiredness $(28.0\%),$ headache $(18.5\%),$
nausea/emesis $(16.6\%),$ muscular weakness $(17.0\%),$
impaired sense of smell $(9.0\%)$ and taste $(12.8\%),$ and
delirium $(6.7\%)$ were reported. In patients with a
complicated or critical disease course $(53\%)$ the most
frequent neurological complications were ischemic stroke
$(1.0\%)$ and intracerebral bleeding (ICB; $2.2\%).$ ICB
peaked in the critical disease phase $(5\%)$ and was
associated with the administration of anticoagulation and
extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Excessive
tiredness (odds ratio [OR] 1.42, $95\%$ confidence interval
[CI] 1.20–1.68) and prior neurodegenerative diseases (OR
1.32, $95\%$ CI 1.07–1.63) were associated with an
increased risk of an unfavorable outcome. Prior
cerebrovascular and neuroimmunological diseases were not
associated with an unfavorable short-term outcome of
COVID-19.ConclusionOur data on mostly hospitalized COVID-19
patients show that excessive tiredness or prior
neurodegenerative disease at first presentation increase the
risk of an unfavorable short-term outcome. ICB in critical
COVID-19 was associated with therapeutic interventions, such
as anticoagulation and ECMO, and thus may be an indirect
complication of a life-threatening systemic viral
infection.},
