Thereafter, a pooled analysis incorporating only cohort studies or case series with sample ≥10 patients was conducted to calculate pooled prevalence estimates (PPE) of prolonged SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection in anal/rectal swabs and stool samples after negative conversion in nasopharyngeal RT-PCR using the MetaXL (software Version 5.3, EpiGear International Pty Ltd., Sunrise Beach, Australia). In the pooled analysis of 8 cohort studies/ case series (n= 315), the pooled prevalence estimate (PPE) for prolonged rectal/anal/stool SARS-CoV-2 RNA was 32% (95% CI 22-44) (Figure 1 ).	./cache/cord-266996-knwpkyg6.txt	./txt/cord-266996-knwpkyg6.txt
