The study found that some symptoms were more prevalent in certain age groups or demographics. Older patients had a higher chance of developing high cholesterol, while younger patients were more likely to develop gastrointestinal issues after diagnosis.
The journal analyzed nearly 2 million private health care claim records of patients with COVID-19, excluding those with chronic conditions such as cancer and HIV.
Maryland's COVID-19 state of emergency will end on July 1, more than 15 months after the deadly virus made its first appearance in the state in March 2020.
All remaining health restrictions will end on that date, Gov. Larry Hogan said Tuesday, including mask mandates.
"The battle's not over," Hogan said. "We're transitioning from a state of emergency to an ongoing operation."
That operation will include continuing to vaccinate thousands of Marylanders who still need the shots and caring for the shrinking number of people sickened by the virus.
Over the course of the pandemic, Maryland has seen more than 460,000 cases of COVID-19. Nearly 9,500 people died, many of them elderly and vulnerable.
Hogan said Tuesday that Maryland's health metrics have improved significantly since the worst peak of the pandemic in the winter.
