| Abstract |
To determine the effects of Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) in patients with long COVID and objectively assessed cognitive impairment. A retrospective evaluation of long COVID patients referred for EECP, with cognitive sequela, and having completed an objective digital assessment before and after therapy. Patients had either cognitive impairment (CI) or no cognitive impairment (NCI) at baseline. We assessed changes in composite score using multi-factor ANOVA. Multiple linear and logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate several independent variables. 80 long COVID patients (38 CI vs 42 NCI) were included for analyses. All baseline characteristics were well matched. There was significant improvement in composite score post-EECP in those with objective cognitive impairment at baseline. There were no notable documented safety concerns. This is the first study showing that EECP led to significant improvement in cognitive functioning of long COVID patients with objectively defined cognitive impairment. Although a lack of a negative control group is a limitation of this study, EECP appears to be highly safe and effective with the potential for widespread application. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 24. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 January 2024.
All research outputs
#1,610,964
of 25,782,229 outputs
Outputs from American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
#102
of 2,473 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#24,576
of 355,669 outputs
Outputs of similar age from American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
#1
of 21 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,782,229 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 93rd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,473 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.2. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 355,669 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 21 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
