Studies: New crown -positive people with higher risk of neurotic diseases

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 26th. Danish researchers released research results at the 8th meeting of the European Society on the 24th, showing that those infected with new crown viruses have higher risk of subsequent neurodegeneration diseases.

Neurological degenerative diseases are caused by the loss of neurons and (or) its myelin sheath, which will deteriorate with time and dysfunction, including cerebral ischemia, brain injury, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson disease, and muscle atrophy. Covery.

Researchers extracted about half of the health records of the Danish population, involving nearly 920,000 people who had undergone new crown virus testing, of which more than 43,000 people's test results were positive. The evaluation results show that compared with the new crown detection, the risk of positive people suffering from Alzheimer's disease increases 3.5 times, the risk of Parkinson's disease increases by 2.6 times, the risk of ischemic stroke increases by 2.7 times, and brain hemorrhage The risk increases by 4.8 times.

Although neuritis may lead to the accelerated development of neurodegenerative diseases, researchers believe that the long -term sequelae of the new coronary virus infection need to be focused on scientific ways.

Researchers also analyzed the hospitalization and outpatient patients from Denmark from February 2020 to November 2021, as well as influenza patients at the corresponding stage before the new crown epidemic. They use statistical methods to evaluate relative risks, considering factors such as hospitalization, age, gender and complications, and believe that compared with influenza or other respiratory diseases, the risk of most neurological diseases in the new coronal virus infection is similar. However, compared with patients with influenza and bacterial pneumonia over 80 years old, the risk of new crown patients has increased by 1.7 times that the risk of ischemic stroke has increased.

In addition, research shows that after infection with new coronary pneumonia, influenza, or ordinary pneumonia, suffering from multiple sclerosis, severe muscle weakness, Jilan -Baror syndrome (also known as infectious multiple nerve root inflammation) and other neuropathy The chance of degenerative diseases has not increased.

The main author of the report, Paldes Zarvcar from the Department of Neurology, Danish State Hospital, said the nature of the new coronal virus and its specific impact on the nervous diseases are not completely clear. The relationship between signs, but so far, it is unclear whether it will also affect the incidence of specific nervous system diseases and whether it is different from other respiratory infections. "

Zarvcar said the results will help people understand the long -term impact of the new coronary virus on the human body and the impact of neurodegenerated diseases and strokes after infection.
