Ambulatory patients with COVID-19 have a low risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE); whereas hospitalization is associated with a higher risk, necessitating thromboprophylaxis. 1,2 The use of extended thromboprophylaxis following COVID-19 hospitalization is controversial, and risk stratification tools are needed to better predict who may benefit. We report the 90-day incidence of VTE following hospitalization, stratified by COVID-19 surge period and vaccination status among adults tested for SARS-CoV-2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
