Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary symptoms are the most common signs of COVID-19, but gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms also show up often; the connection between GI symptoms and patient outcomes is not well-studied.
- A systematic review included 35 studies with over 7,900 COVID-19 patients to analyze the impact of GI symptoms on outcomes like ICU admission, disease severity, and in-hospital mortality.
- The study found that anorexia and abdominal pain are linked to worse outcomes for COVID-19 patients, while symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting do not appear to affect outcomes.
