Key Points

This study aims to explore the differences in cognitive functions and blood parameters between alcohol use disorder patients with symptomatic COVID-19 and those without.
Pilot study with 32 COVID-19 AUD patients and 31 non-COVID-19 AUD patients, conducted at two different time points.
Data collected included cognitive assessments (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) and various blood parameters.
Participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire and several validated measurement scales.
93.7% of participants in the COVID-19 group had a mild form of the disease.
Cognitive functions improved in the non-COVID-19 group but remained unchanged in the COVID-19 group (F(1, 56.157) = 6.875, p = 0.011).
Total cholesterol levels in the COVID-19 group showed a significant change over time (F(1, 49.997) = 18.234, p < 0.001).
