Incidence of pulmonary embolism in non-critically ill COVID-19 patients. Predicting factors for a challenging diagnosis

B. Mestre-Gomez et al.

Summary: Recent studies indicate that thrombotic complications are common in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our study found a high incidence of pulmonary embolism in non critically ill COVID-19 patients, with D-dimer peak being an independent predictor for PE at a cut-off point of > 5000 mu g/dl.

Summary: The study found that a D-dimer concentration >1128 ng/mL at admission is associated with in-hospital mortality in patients hospitalized for COVID-19, regardless of the occurrence of venous thromboembolism during hospitalization.

Incidence of VTE and Bleeding Among Hospitalized Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019 A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

David Jimenez et al.

Summary: The pooled incidence of VTE and bleeding among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 was 17.0% and 7.8% respectively. Factors such as routine screening, critical illness, inclusion of distal DVT and subsegmental PE, and prospective studies were associated with higher rates of VTE. The incidence of bleeding events was sensitive to escalated doses of anticoagulants and the nature of data collection.

Summary: In patients with COVID-19, the incidence rates of PE and DVT were 16.5% and 14.8%, respectively, with over half of PE patients lacking DVT. The cutoff values of D-dimer levels seem applicable to patients with COVID-19.

Pierre-Marie Roy et al.

Summary: The study introduced and validated a 4-level pretest probability rule (4PEPS) that aimed to reduce imaging testing for suspected PE by utilizing clinical criteria and optimized D-dimer measurement. Results showed a significant and safe reduction in imaging testing, suggesting potential for broader application and further outcome studies.

Ignasi Garcia-Olive et al.

Summary: By comparing D-dimer levels in COVID-19 patients with and without PE and establishing a predictive model, it was found that D-dimer levels increased in the first 10 days and can be used to predict the risk of PE in COVID-19 patients.

Summary: In hospitalized COVID-19 patients, alterations in inflammatory and coagulation biomarkers are closely related to poor prognosis, with significantly elevated levels of D-dimer and PAI-1 in severe cases, along with distinct differences in inflammatory markers between non-severe patients and those who succumbed to the disease.
