ABSTRACT
Gastrointestinal (GI) long-COVID symptoms, including diarrhea and abdominal pain, have been reported in patients with long-COVID. However, the clinical features of patients with GI long-COVID symptoms remain unclear. We conducted a large-scale prospective cohort study focusing on the clinical characteristics of patients with GI long-COVID symptoms in Japan. Among 943 COVID-19 patients, 58 patients (6.2%) had GI long-COVID symptoms. The health-related quality of life (QOL) parameters (the Short Form-8 [SF-8] and Euro Quality of Life 5 Dimensions 5 level [EQ-5D-5L]) at 12 months after diagnosis in patients with GI long-COVID symptoms were significantly lower than in those without GI long-COVID symptoms (P < 0.0001). Moreover, patients with GI long-COVID symptoms had more varied long-COVID symptoms compared to patients without GI long-COVID symptoms.
