Effect of Thromboprophylaxis on Clinical Outcomes After COVID-19 Hospitalization

Tracy Y. Wang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine whether anticoagulation is effective in reducing death and thromboembolic complications among patients discharged after COVID-19 hospitalization. The study was terminated early due to a lower-than-expected event rate and declining COVID-19 hospitalizations, leading to inconclusive results.

The Association of Low Molecular Weight Heparin Use and In-hospital Mortality Among Patients Hospitalized with COVID-19

Lan Shen et al.

Summary: The study found that the use of LMWH in hospitalized COVID-19 patients was associated with lower all-cause in-hospital mortality compared to non-LMWH users, especially among more severely ill patients.

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.

Thromboprophylaxis in Patients with COVID-19: Systematic Review of National and International Clinical Guidance Reports

Konstantinos G. Kyriakoulis et al.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review to analyze national and international guidelines on thromboprophylaxis strategies in COVID-19 patients. The key to thromboprophylaxis strategies lies in stratifying thrombotic and bleeding risks. The majority of guidelines recommend prophylactic dose of low molecular weight heparin for all hospitalized patients.

ISTH guidelines for antithrombotic treatment in COVID-19

Sam Schulman et al.

Summary: Antithrombotic agents, particularly heparins, are recommended for patients with COVID-19 to reduce thromboembolism risk. The optimal dosing and timing of these treatments, as well as the benefits of other antithrombotic agents, are still unclear. A panel of experts developed 12 recommendations based on high- to moderate-quality evidence, including the use of prophylactic or therapeutic dose heparin for different patient groups. Additional weak recommendations were made for the use of sulodexide, adding antiplatelet agents, and prophylactic rivaroxaban in select patients. Future updates will incorporate new evidence and may modify these recommendations.

Mechanisms of thrombosis and cardiovascular complications in COVID-19

Eden M. Page et al.

Summary: COVID-19 disease is characterized by interactions between hyperactive coagulation and complement systems, resulting in a pro-thrombotic state and tissue injury. D-dimer is the most significant prognostic marker of disease severity, with the presence of thrombocytopenia being a key indicator of patient deterioration. Further research is needed to understand the underlying pathophysiology in COVID-19 and the potential implications for disease progression and patient management.

Postdischarge thromboembolic outcomes and mortality of hospitalized patients with COVID-19: the CORE-19 registry

Dimitrios Giannis et al.

Summary: Thromboembolic events and mortality from subclinical thrombotic events frequently occur in COVID-19 inpatients. Postdischarge VTE, ATE, and ACM are common, with advanced age and cardiovascular risk factors increasing the risk. Postdischarge anticoagulation can significantly reduce the risk by 46%.

Therapeutic Anticoagulation with Heparin in Noncritically Ill Patients with Covid-19

Patrick R. Lawler et al.

Summary: This study showed that therapeutic-dose anticoagulation with heparin in non-critically ill patients with Covid-19 increased the likelihood of survival to hospital discharge and reduced the need for cardiovascular or respiratory organ support compared to usual-care thromboprophylaxis.

Therapeutic Anticoagulation with Heparin in Critically Ill Patients with Covid-19

Ewan C. Goligher et al.

Summary: In critically ill patients with Covid-19, initial therapeutic-dose anticoagulation did not result in improved survival rates or fewer days requiring cardiovascular or respiratory organ support compared to usual-care pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis.

Prothrombotic changes in patients with COVID-19 are associated with disease severity and mortality

Fien A. von Meijenfeldt et al.

Summary: The study found that COVID-19 patients with higher levels of respiratory support have significantly increased in vivo activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis, despite receiving anticoagulant therapy. Blood markers such as fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, etc., also change with increasing levels of respiratory support.
