What Do We Want To Know?
We would like to know how frequently and what brain-related complications occur in children who were infected with COVID-19 compared to that in children infected with other viruses.
How Are We Doing It?
We will be using data collected from the POPCORN COVID Cohort Study to identify those with brain-related complications. We will then collect additional information regarding their clinical presentation, brain imaging and other complications from patient medical records.
How Is The Study Going?
The study is expected to begin in Fall 2024!
Who Is Included?
Patients who are included in the POPCORN COVID Cohort Study and have brain complications due to either COVID-19 or another viral illness.
