Contribution of COVID-19 to the Total Cases of Pulmonary Embolism and the Potential Risk Factors : Single Academic Hospital Study
Copyright © 2022, Altuwaijri et al..
BACKGROUND: There are limited data regarding potential triggering factors of pulmonary embolism (PE) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients and its outcomes in comparison with non-infected PE patients. We aimed to identify the contribution of COVID-19 among patients diagnosed with PE and compare risk factors, laboratory results, and outcomes between COVID-19 PE patients and non-COVID-19 PE patients.
METHODS: This was a retrospective study of all PE patients between March 2020 and December 2020. The patients were segmented into two groups based on a COVID-19 nasopharyngeal swab result. Statistical analysis was used to determine the differences in risk factors, laboratory values, and outcomes.
RESULTS: A total of 58 patients were included. Females comprised 44.8% of the total sample. Overall, 16 patients (27.6%) were COVID-19 positive. Being non-Saudi was observed more in PE COVID-19 patients compared with non-COVID-19 patients (43.7% vs 4.8%, P = 0.001). Intensive care unit (ICU) admission occurred in 50% of COVID-19 PE patients.
CONCLUSION: COVID-19 was associated with 27.6% of the PEs in our hospital. Being male or a foreign resident was observed to be associated with COVID-19 PE. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed, but these results may help the medical community regarding the increased risk of PE among COVID-19 patients and provide evidence of some potentially predictive factors that can be used to identify COVID-19 in high-risk patients.
