Oral anticoagulation and clinical outcomes in COVID-19: An Italian multicenter experience

Marco Schiavone et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of OAC and heparin treatment on COVID-19 patients, showing that OAC was ineffective in reducing mortality rate, while heparin had a protective effect in severe lung disease, potentially indicating a crucial role of microthrombosis in the disease. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Prevalence of Thrombotic Complications in ICU-Treated Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019 Detected With Systematic CT Scanning

Saeed Mirsadraee et al.

Summary: This study analyzed 72 critically ill patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 and found a high prevalence of thrombotic complications, especially pulmonary thromboses, in 58% of the patients. The detection of thrombus was usually incidental, not predicted by coagulation or inflammatory biomarkers, and associated with increased risk of death.

Reduction in all-cause mortality in COVID-19 patients on chronic oral anticoagulation: A population-based propensity score matched study

Gentian Denas et al.

Summary: Among elderly patients with COVID-19, those on chronic oral anticoagulant treatment for atrial fibrillation seem to have a lower risk of all-cause mortality compared to their non-anticoagulated counterparts in a propensity score matched cohort. The finding warrants further confirmation in additional studies.

Summary: The study found that ongoing DOAC use was not associated with reducing the risk of severe COVID-19, suggesting that early outpatient DOAC initiation would not modify prognosis.

COVID-19, immunothrombosis and venous thromboembolism: biological mechanisms

Joan Loo et al.

Summary: Thrombotic events in COVID-19, especially venous thromboemboli, are associated with disease severity and poor clinical outcomes. Distinctive microvascular abnormalities include endothelial inflammation, disruption of intercellular junctions, and microthrombi formation. COVID-19 can lead to immunothrombosis, and a better understanding of the pathobiological mechanisms is crucial for developing new treatments.

Summary: The study found that early initiation of prophylactic anticoagulation was associated with decreased risk of 30 day mortality among patients hospitalized with covid-19 in the United States, without increasing the risk of serious bleeding events.

Anticoagulation Before Hospitalization Is a Potential Protective Factor for COVID-19: Insight From a French Multicenter Cohort Study

Richard Chocron et al.

Summary: The study found that COVID-19 patients receiving anticoagulation therapy before hospitalization had a better prognosis, while those starting anticoagulation therapy during hospitalization were not associated with any outcomes. Early introduction of anticoagulation therapy can help prevent COVID-19-associated coagulopathy and endotheliopathy, leading to a better prognosis for patients.
