Conclusions

We report a low but not insignificant prevalence of neurological complications that can be anticipated in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. This study adds to the body of evidence that adults and children have different neurological manifestations and in-hospital complications after acute COVID-19 infection. Stroke risk increased with increasing age, while CNS infection and seizure risk decreased with age. The results of this study can assist in healthcare planning given the long-term impact of these complications.
