dc.description.abstractAim: In this study, we sought to determine patient characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients who experience this complication, as well as the frequency of thromboembolic events (TEE) in COVID-19 patients hospitalized. Materials and Methods: Between January 2020 and December 2021, all the patients with positive COVID-19 PCR test results were enrolled in this study. The data of the cases that developed TEE with the diagnosis of COVID-19 were evaluated retrospectively. Results:During this time, 2,845 inpatients were admitted with COVID-19. Among this group, 96 patients (3.37%) had COVID-19 - related TEE. The mean age was 63.76±13.85 years (range, 28–80 years) with 46 men (47.92%) and 50 women (52.08%). Of the patients, 46 of 96 (47.92%) had severe COVID-19, and 50 of 96 (52.08%) had only mild respiratory symptoms. Severe COVID-19 group patients were older but there was not statistically significance between the groups. Peripheral venous disease was more common in mild COVID-19 group, while peripheral arterial disease is more common in severe COVID-19 group.CRP, uric acid, troponin, creatinine,D-dimer and leukocyte levels were higher in severe COVID-19 patients with TEE (p<0.05). Peripheral venous disease was present in 81 of 96 (84.37%), peripheral arterial disease in 5 of 96 (5.2%), and pulmonary embolism in 11 (11.45%) cases. One patient (1.04%) had both peripheral venous disease and pulmonary embolism. The overall mortality was 6.25% (6/96). Conclusion: COVID-19-associated thrombotic process affects more frequently veins than arteries. Given the significant observed risk for TEE in COVID-19, diagnostic imaging for TEE should be evaluated with a high degree of clinical suspicion.
