Article Synopsis
- The study involved 15 PC patients participating in an 8-week intervention of cognitive training and group therapy, while a control group of 15 PC patients underwent assessments without participation to measure cognitive performance.
- Findings showed significant improvements in many cognitive areas for the intervention group, particularly in verbal memory and visuo-spatial skills, supporting the idea that structured group therapy and cognitive training can be beneficial for PC patients dealing with cognitive issues.

Article Synopsis
- * Neurocognitive testing (NCT) revealed mild impairments in some patients, while brain imaging (BI) showed abnormalities in only 14.5% of cases, suggesting that the changes may not be directly linked to COVID-19 effects.
- * Patients with severe CS were more likely to experience symptoms of depression, fatigue, and a lower quality of life, indicating a potential connection between cognitive symptoms and overall mental health issues among Post COVID-19 patients.

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) such as the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) or Likert scales addressing various domains of health are important tools to assess disease severity in Post COVID-19 (PC) patients. By design, they are subjective in nature and prone to bias. Our findings reveal substantial differences in the perception of disease severity between patients (PAT), their attending internists (INT) and psychiatrists/psychologists (PSY).
