Background: Advances in encephalitis research have improved the definition and management of encephalitis during the acute phase. Still, little is known about long-term outcomes in different subtypes of encephalitis.
Objectives: To analyze the prevalence and predictors of long-term clinical outcomes in different subtypes of encephalitis.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the impact of vaccination on the severity of COVID-19 in patients with neurological disorders, comparing outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals admitted to a specialized unit.
- Among 232 hospitalized COVID-19 patients, 32% were fully vaccinated, with breakthrough cases being older and having higher comorbidity compared to unvaccinated patients, but similar disease progression and mortality rates.
- The analysis highlighted age and a specific early warning score as significant predictors of mortality, emphasizing the need to identify vulnerable neurological patients at greater risk during COVID-19 outbreaks.
