The reported prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, including anorexia, diarrhea,
nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, in SARS-2-CoV infection has been highly variable
ranging from 5-61%.1-7 Although the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines for testing
for COVID-19 include vomiting and diarrhea, all studies to date have been retrospective and
none have evaluated the prevalence of GI symptoms among patients tested negative for COVID19. In this prospective case-control study, we compared the prevalence of GI symptoms between
those who tested positive and negative for COVID-19 and determined the association between
GI symptoms and COVID-19 diagnosis or outcomes.
