AbstractBiological evidence suggests ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)—a common treatment of cholestatic liver disease—may prevent severe COVID-19 outcomes. We aimed to compare the hazard of COVID-19 hospitalisation or death between UDCA users versus non-users in a population with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) or primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).

DiscussionOur study aimed to describe the disparity across a range of mental health outcomes between those who live alone versus with others, and whether the pandemic impacted on this disparity. Using data from longitudinal studies and EHRs, we found consistent evidence of poorer mental health in people who lived alone prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results from the longitudinal studies showed that the gap for psychological distress persisted through the pandemic.
