Incidence and Predictors of Thrombotic Complications in 4742 Patients with COVID-19 or Other Acute Infectious Respiratory Diseases: A Propensity Score-Matched Study
Background. A prothrombotic state, attributable to excessive inflammation, cytokine storm, hypoxia, and immobilization, is a feature of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Up to 30% of patients with severe COVID-19 remain at high risk of thromboembolic events despite anticoagulant administration, with adverse imp...

Up to 30% of patients with severe COVID-19 remain at high risk of thromboembolic events despite anticoagulant administration, with adverse impact on in-hospital prognosis. Methods. We retrospectively studied 4742 patients with acute infectious respiratory disease (AIRD); 2579 were diagnosed to have COVID-19 and treated with heparin, whereas 2163 had other causes of AIRD. We compared the incidence and predictors of total, arterial, and venous thrombosis, both in the whole population and in a propensity score-matched subpopulation of 3036 patients (1518 in each group). Results. 271 thrombotic events occurred in the whole population: 121 (4.7%) in the COVID-19 group and 150 (6.9%) in the no-COVID-19 group (<i>p</i> < 0.001). No differences in the incidence of total (<i>p</i> = 0.11), arterial (<i>p</i> = 0.26), and venous (<i>p</i> = 0.38) thrombosis were found between the two groups after adjustment for confounding clinical variables and in the propensity score-matched subpopulation. Likewise, there were no significant differences in bleeding rates between the two groups. Clinical predictors of arterial thrombosis included age (<i>p</i> = 0.006), diabetes mellitus (<i>p</i> = 0.034), peripheral artery disease (<i>p</i> < 0.001), and previous stroke (<i>p</i> < 0.001), whereas history of solid cancer (<i>p</i> < 0.001) and previous deep vein thrombosis (<i>p</i> = 0.007) were associated with higher incidence of venous thrombosis.
