Abstract: Although it is known that COVID-19 can present with a range of neurological manifestations and in-hospital complications, sparse data exist if these initial neurological symptoms of COVID-19 are closely associated with post-acute neurological sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PANSC) and if female versus male sex impacts the symptom resolution. In this international, multicentre, prospective observational study across 407 sites from 15 countries (January/30th/2020-April/30th/2022), we report the prevalence and risk factors of PANSC among hospitalized adults and investigate the differences between males and females on neurological symptom resolution over time.
