Catatonia has been increasingly described in cases of COVID-19; we therefore aimed to investigate the evidence for catatonia in patients with COVID-19. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, BIN and CINAHL databases for articles published in English, from the initial descriptions of the COVID-19 pandemic to January 2022.
A total 204 studies were identified, 27 (13%) of which met the inclusion criteria. The evidence available was based on case reports. The articles included in this review identified a total of 42 patients, ranging from the ages of 12 to ≥70 years, with confirmed or possible catatonia during or after a COVID-19 infection.
This review provides valuable information to clinicians in medical practice for treating patients with COVID-19, and a foundation for further research for this uncommon syndrome of COVID-19.
在新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）病例中，紧张症的描述越来越多；因此，我们旨在调查COVID-19患者中紧张症的证据。我们在PubMed、EMBASE、PsycINFO、BIN和CINAHL数据库中搜索了从COVID-19大流行最初描述到2022年1月以英文发表的文章。
共识别出204项研究，其中27项（13%）符合纳入标准。现有证据基于病例报告。本综述纳入的文章共确定了42例患者，年龄在12岁至70岁以上，在COVID-19感染期间或之后出现确诊或可能的紧张症。
本综述为临床医生在医疗实践中治疗COVID-19患者提供了有价值的信息，并为进一步研究这种COVID-19罕见综合征奠定了基础。
