No, because that is in literally the objective: "To quantify rates of organ specific dysfunction in individuals with covid-19 after discharge from hospital compared with a matched control group from the general population." I wouldn't even rule out that COVID causes diabetes, but at the same time diabetes is commonly underdiagnosed, as is heart or liver disease.
