| Core Tip |
There is a high prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms in coronavirus disease 2019 patients both at presentation and during hospitalization. Drugs are associated with the development of gastrointestinal symptoms during hospitalization. The presence of gastrointestinal symptoms in coronavirus disease 2019 patients is associated with disease severity at presentation but is not a predictor of mortality or disease progression. |
