Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the impact of meningitis-related sequelae on quality of life and to identify gaps in their detection and management.
• Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature on meningitis sequelae.
• Analyzed data from various studies to assess variability in evaluation and detection methods.
• Evaluated the impact of follow-up care on patient outcomes.
• Meningitis-related sequelae were found to significantly affect the quality of life.
• Observations revealed wide variability in the detection and management practices across studies.
• The need for routine monitoring from discharge was emphasized, aligning with WHO guidelines.
