Abstract
Aim To evaluate the burden and predictors of throm
-
boembolic complications in a large real-life cohort of hos
-
pitalized patients with established coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19).
Methods We retrospectively reviewed the records of 4014
consecutive adult patients admitted to a tertiary-level insti
-
tution because of COVID-19 from March 2020 to March 2021
for the presence of venous and arterial thrombotic events.
Results Venous-thromboembolic (VTE) events were pres
-
ent in 5.3% and arterial thrombotic events in 5.8% patients.
The majority of arterial thromboses occurred before or on
the day of admission, while the majority of VTE events oc
-
curred during hospitalization. The majority of both types
of events occurred before intensive care unit (ICU) admis
-
sion, although both types of events were associated with
a higher need for ICU use and prolonged immobilization.
In multivariate logistic regression, VTE events were inde
-
pendently associated with metastatic malignancy, known
thrombophilia, lower mean corpuscular hemoglobin con
-
centration, higher D-dimer, lower lactate dehydrogenase,
longer duration of disease on admission, bilateral pneu
-
monia, longer duration of hospitalization, and immobiliza
-
tion for at least one day. Arterial thromboses were inde
-
pendently associated with less severe COVID-19, higher
Charlson comorbidity index, coronary artery disease, pe
-
ripheral artery disease, history of cerebrovascular insult, as
-
pirin use, lower C reactive protein, better functional status
on admission, ICU use, immobilization for at least one day,
absence of hyperlipoproteinemia, and absence of meta
-
static malignancy.
Conclusion Among hospitalized COVID-19 patients, ve
-
nous and arterial thromboses differ in timing of presenta
-
tion, association with COVID-19 severity, and other clinical
characteristics.
