We conducted a retrospective cohort study among adult IBD patients followed in our center in Lombardy, aimed at defining prevalence and risk factors for acquiring the infection. Because during the study period virologic testing was available only for inpatients or health care workers besides laboratory confirmed diagnosis, we also included probable cases according to WHO reccomendations (ie, occurrence of an acute respiratory illness AND residence in a high-prevalence area or contact with a COVID-19 case). Diarrhea was the presenting symptom in 26 (49%) patients, and significantly more cases reported diarrhea compared with non-COVID-19 patients (OR, 29; P < 0.0001), independently from disease activity at multiple regression analysis (suppl Table 2 ).
