Topic:

  • Bilaloglu et al. found that 533 of 3334 (16%) consecutive patients hospitalized in New York City with COVID-19 had thrombotic events diagnosed during routine clinical care. Age, sex, Hispanic ethnicity, coronary artery disease, prior myocardial infarction, and higher D-dimer levels at hospital presentation were associated with a thrombotic event, and all-cause mortality was higher in those who experienced them (43% vs. 21%).
