Mental health symptoms in people who recovered from COVID-19 were associated with post-infection gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, a survey-based study found.
In an analysis of nearly 750 individuals who had COVID-19, those with mental health symptoms either before or after their infection were more than 16 times more likely to have post-COVID GI symptoms (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 16.5, 95% CI 6.97-38.9), reported John Blackett, MD, MS, of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and colleagues.
