Multicenter study conducted in 15 hospitals including 101 COVID-19 pediatric inpatients aiming to describe associated gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations. GI symptoms were present in 57% and were the first manifestation in 14%. Adjusted by confounding factors, those with GI symptoms had higher risk of pediatric intensive care unit admission. GI symptoms are predictive of severity in COVID-19 children admitted to hospitals.
一项在 15 家医院进行的多中心研究，共纳入 101 例 COVID-19 儿科住院患者，旨在描述相关的胃肠道 (GI) 表现。57%的患儿存在胃肠道症状，14%的患儿以胃肠道症状为首发表现。调整混杂因素后，存在胃肠道症状的患儿入住儿科重症监护病房的风险更高。胃肠道症状是预测 COVID-19 住院患儿病情严重程度的指标。
