Descriptive Analysis of COVID-19 Patients Who Required Endoscopic Evaluation for Gastrointestinal Bleeding
While studies have indicated an increased risk of GI complications in SARS-CoV-2 patients, many have not differentiated between hemorrhagic and non-hemorrhagic sequelae or accounted for the level of care. We conclude that there was higher mortality among patients requiring endoscopic intervention, regardless of their level of care or patient-specific factors.
