Severe Flu Confers Higher Risk for Neuro Disorders vs COVID
Quick Glance: Hospitalization for Influenza Associated with Higher Risk of Neurological Disorders
  • An analysis of 77,300 individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 compared to 77,300 hospitalized with influenza revealed that those with influenza had a greater risk of subsequent neurologic disorders such as migraine, stroke, or epilepsy.

  • Participants hospitalized with COVID-19 were significantly less likely in the following year to require medical care for migraine, epilepsy, neuropathy, movement disorders, stroke, and dementia compared to influenza patients.

  • After considering age, sex, and other health conditions, individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 had a lower risk of needing medical care for migraine, epilepsy, and neuropathy than those with influenza.

  • "The results were surprising as they indicate that hospitalization due to COVID does not lead to increased care for common neurologic conditions compared to hospitalization due to influenza," stated lead researcher Brian C. Callaghan, MD, from the University of Michigan.
