Basically correct. This particular study was ongoing prior to COVID and had a fairly unique opportunity to gauge the effects -- nm* - oblique Jul 26, 09:04
There could be a few competing causations influencing things. What if they're accidentally measuring cognitive deficits resulting from hospital care? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 26, 09:03 1
- ie: it may not be unique to COVID but an effect of being on a ventilator -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 09:05
They had a control group it sounds like. Still, the thread says more study is needed -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 09:02
are they saying they already have cognitive information on these people and are testing again? -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 26, 09:01 1
- Yes. As part of the "Great British Intelligence Test" they were already testing and had data to compare pre and post COVID -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 09:06
