Association between $ PaO_{2} $/$ FiO_{2} $ ratio and thrombotic events in COVID-19 patients

Abstract $ PaO_{2} $/$ FiO_{2} $ (P/F ratio) is considered a marker of hypoxia/hypoxemia and mortality. Several prothrombotic changes are associated with the decrease of P/F ratio. The role of P/F ratio in patients with arterial and venous thrombosis remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the association between P/F ratio and arterial/venous thrombosis. One thousand and four hundred and six COVID-19 patients were recruited; 289 (21%) patients had P/F ratio < 200 and 1117 (79%) ≥ 200. Compared to the patients with P/F ratio ≥ 200, those with P/F ratio < 200 were older and with higher levels of glycemia, D–dimer and lower levels of albumin. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that albumin (standardized coefficient β: 0.156; SE: 0.001; p = 0.0001) and D–dimer (standardized coefficient β: -0.135; SE: 0.0001; p = 0.0001) were associated with P/F ratio. During the hospitalization 159 patients were transferred in intensive care unit (ICU), 253 patients died, 156 patients had arterial or venous thrombotic events. A bivariate logistic analysis was performed to analyze the predictors of thrombosis in COVID-19 patients; P/F ratio < 200 (Odds Ratio: [OR] 1.718, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 1.085–2.718, p = 0.021), albumin (OR 1.693, 95% CI 1.055–2.716, p = 0.029), D-dimer (OR 3.469, 95% CI 2.110–5.703, p < 0.0001), coronary artery disease (CAD) (OR 1.800, 95% CI 1.086–2.984, p = 0.023) and heart failure (OR 2.410 95% CI 1.385–4.193, p = 0.002) independently predicted thrombotic events in this population. This study suggests that the P/F ratio is associated with thrombotic events by promoting a hypercoagulation state in patients hospitalized for COVID-19..
