COVID-19 pandemic and mental health consequences: Systematic review of the current evidence
Open accessAbstract
Highlights • COVID-19 patients displayed high levels of PTSS and increased levels of depression.• Patients with preexisting psychiatric disorders reported worsening of psychiatric symptoms.• Higher levels of psychiatric symptoms were found among health care workers.• A decrease in psychological well-being was observed in the general public.• However, well conducted large-scale studies are highly needed.

The paper reports the opposite of the attributed claim. In “Associated factors for the severity of PTSD,” it states that PCL-5 scores differed significantly by population classification (p < 0.001), with health care workers reporting lower symptom levels than both low-risk and high-risk public groups. (LLM, conf=0.91)

The paper’s ‘Predictive and risk factors for PTSD’ section reports that gender was a significant predictor (p < 0.001) and that females reported higher PTSD levels. Table 3 also shows a positive coefficient for female versus male on the PCL-5 symptom score. (LLM, conf=0.94)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-09-28, under version 3 of the claim definition (prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-09-28 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
