Fig. 3. Subgroup analyses of the risks of incident post-acute COVID-19 composite gastrointestinal outcomes compared with the contemporary control cohort.

Fig. 3

Composite outcomes consisted of incident diagnoses (GERD, PUD, acute pancreatitis, functional dyspepsia, acute gastritis, IBS, and cholangitis), signs and symptoms (constipation, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and bloating), coagulation studies (PT, PTT, INR), liver and biliary tree function tests (albumin, ALT, total protein, AST, LDH, CRP, ALP, total bilirubin, GGT, direct bilirubin, lipase, and amylase) and any gastrointestinal outcome (incident occurrence of any gastrointestinal outcome studied). Outcomes were ascertained 30d after the COVID-19-positive test until the end of follow-up. COVID-19 cohort (n  =  154,068) and contemporary control cohort (n  =  5,638,795). Adjusted HRs (dots) and 95% (error bars) CIs are presented. The dashed line marks a HR of 1.00; lower limits of 95% CIs with values greater than 1.00 indicate significantly increased risk. GERD gastroesophageal reflux disorder, IBS irritable bowel syndrome, PT prothrombin time, PTT partial thromboplastin time, INR international normalized ratio, ALT alanine transaminase, AST aspartate transaminase, LDH lactate dehydrogenase, CRP c-reactive peptide, ALP alkaline phosphatase, GGT γ-glutamyl transferase.
