Article Synopsis
- - This study examined gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in hospitalized COVID-19 patients across multiple countries to understand how frequently these symptoms occur and their relationship to the severity of the disease.
- - Among 829 patients, common GI symptoms included anorexia, diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, and abdominal pain, but these were generally mild, resolved quickly, and not linked to worse COVID-19 outcomes.
- - The research also found that a significant number of patients experienced liver injury, but similar to the GI symptoms, it did not correlate with the severity of COVID-19 illness.
