Resumen
Objetivos: Evaluar las principales alteraciones en la cognición y el sueño en pacientes con síndrome post-COVID-19. Métodos: Estudio analítico transversal. Se evaluaron 51 pacientes mayores de 18 años con síndrome post-COVID-19 que presentaban quejas cognitivas y de sueño, a través de un formulario propio y cuestionarios validados para cognición (MoCA y MoCA-B) y para el sueño (Escala de Somnolencia de Epworth, Índice de Calidad del Sueño de Pittsburgh, Cuestionario de Perturbación del Sueño e Índice de Gravedad del Insomnio). Resultados: La muestra estuvo predominantemente compuesta por mujeres (80,4%), con una edad promedio de 59,9 años y gravedad leve de COVID-19 (52,9%). Las quejas neurocognitivas (90,2%) y del sueño (96,1%) fueron prevalentes, ocurriendo independientemente de la gravedad de la enfermedad. En la cognición predominaban las alteraciones en la memoria a corto plazo y, en el sueño, la somnolencia y la fatiga. En las pruebas MoCA y MoCA-B, el 81,57% presentó deterioro cognitivo leve. Las pruebas del sueño mostraron impactos en la calidad y cantidad del sueño, sin una correlación significativa entre las pruebas de trastornos del sueño y las evaluaciones cognitivas agrupadas. Conclusión: Los impactos en la cognición y el sueño en el síndrome post-COVID-19 deben ser el foco de atención de los equipos de salud que intervienen en esta población, ya que son prevalentes y pueden ocasionar perjuicios biopsicosociales.
