"Of the 740 COVID-19 patients, 51% were treated as outpatients, 27% were hospitalized, and 22% were treated in an emergency department setting.
Overall, the most prominent deficits were in:
Memory encoding: 24%
Memory recall: 23%
Category fluency: 20%
Processing speed: 18%
Executive functioning: 16%
Phonemic fluency: 15%"
