Rivaroxaban versus no anticoagulation for post-discharge thromboprophylaxis after hospitalisation for COVID-19 (MICHELLE): an open-label, multicentre, randomised, controlled trial

Eduardo Ramacciotti et al.

Summary: This study investigated the efficacy of rivaroxaban thromboprophylaxis for 35 days in patients discharged after hospitalisation due to COVID-19. The results showed that this treatment significantly reduced the incidence of venous thromboembolism, with no major bleeding events reported.

One-Year Impact of COVID-19 Lockdown-Related Factors on Cardiovascular Risk and Mental Health: A Population-Based Cohort Study

Emilie Berard et al.

Summary: Lockdown measures have significant psychological impacts and may increase cardiovascular risk. People with depression symptoms during lockdown are more likely to experience increased cardiovascular drug treatment, decreased physical activity, and weight gain after lockdown. Changes in sleep patterns and living in rural areas during lockdown are associated with higher incidence of depression, while having a better relationship with one's partner during lockdown is associated with less incident depression. Continuing to work in roles requiring in-person contact with the public during lockdown is associated with more incident anxiety after lockdown, while decreased alcohol consumption during lockdown is associated with less incident anxiety.

The impact of the COVID pandemic on primary care diabetes services in the UK: A cross-sectional national survey of views of health professionals delivering diabetes care

Samuel Seidu et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted primary care diabetes services in the UK, leading to difficulties in providing routine care and increased workload for healthcare professionals. Failure to restore primary care services to pre-pandemic levels may result in an overworked and emotionally drained workforce, as well as worse outcomes for patients.

COVID-19 trajectories among 57 million adults in England: a cohort study using electronic health records

Johan H. Thygesen et al.

Summary: This study used nationwide linked electronic health records to define and validate ten COVID-19 phenotypes, providing insights into the different stages and transitions of the disease. The results showed infection rates, hospitalization rates, intensive care unit usage, and mortality rates of COVID-19. Longer patient trajectories were observed in the second wave compared to the first wave.

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.

Pulmonary Embolism and Deep Vein Thrombosis in COVID-19: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Young Joo Suh et al.

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.

Summary: The prevalence of VTE is high in COVID-19 patients, especially in those admitted to the ICU, while the prevalence of ATE is relatively low and further research is needed.

Stroke Care in the United Kingdom During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abdel Douiri et al.

Summary: The initial wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK led to a decrease in admissions for acute stroke patients, with older patients and those with less severe strokes being more affected. While quality of stroke care was maintained and even improved in some aspects, there was an increase in inpatient case fatality, especially among patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 infections. These findings suggest that hospital avoidance during the pandemic may have resulted in untreated stroke patients with poorer outcomes, highlighting the need for resilient healthcare systems.

Inflammation, Infection and Venous Thromboembolism

Meaghan E. Colling et al.

Summary: The association between inflammation, infection, and venous thrombosis is crucial and can lead to pathological thrombosis. Cells like neutrophils, monocytes, and platelets play essential roles in host defense and thrombus formation. Understanding these mechanisms has advanced knowledge in human physiology and pathophysiology, offering new therapeutic targets for the treatment of thrombosis.

The protective association between statins use and adverse outcomes among COVID-19 patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Ronald Chow et al.

Summary: Among 110,078 patients, individuals who used statins before COVID-19 hospitalization had similar mortality risk compared to non-users; however, patients administered statins after COVID-19 diagnosis had a lower risk of mortality. Statins did not reduce mortality in ICU patients, but statin users in non-ICU settings had lower mortality risk compared to non-users.

Risk of thrombocytopenia and thromboembolism after covid-19 vaccination and SARS-CoV-2 positive testing: self-controlled case series study

Julia Hippisley-Cox et al.

Summary: The study found increased risks of haematological and vascular events leading to hospital admission or death within short time intervals after first doses of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 and BNT162b2 mRNA vaccines. The risks of these events were higher and more prolonged after SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to vaccination in the same population.

Summary: Acute cerebrovascular diseases occur in 1.4% of COVID-19 patients, with acute ischemic stroke being the most common manifestation. Patients with COVID-19 are more likely to have pre-existing vascular risk factors and higher mortality rates compared to those without cerebrovascular diseases.
