Study flowchart. In this study, we included 33 patients hospitalized in the acute phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection for whom a blood sample and cytokine analysis had been performed and who were assessed a neuropsychological examination at 6–9 months and 12–15 months post-infection. We excluded 88 patients from the cohort, who had not been hospitalized due to the absence of a blood sample, patients who had been hospitalized without a viable blood sample for cytokine analysis and patients who had not completed a follow-up neuropsychological examination 12–15 months post-infection.
