There are 3 clinical trials
Reports of acute pulmonary embolism (APE) associated with COVID-19 have emerged in the literature. For example, Chen et al. described 25 pulmonary CT angiograms examinations from 1008 COVID-19 patients; 10 were positive for pulmonary embolism mostly as segmental or sub-segmental APE. Case reports of APE in Covid-19 patients have been published. Cui et al. found an incidence of deep venous thrombosis in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with severe Covid-19 pneumonia near to 25% (20/81), however without any correlation with potential APE. Despite these initial reports, it is not clear whether APE is more frequent in Covid-19 patients or if the association is just random. In favor of the former, D-dimer levels have been reported as elevated in patients with Covid-19 by two studies, and it has been suggested an independent association between the severity of the disease and the level of D-dimer. Finally, Tang et al. showed that anticoagulant therapy is associated with a decreased mortality at Day-28 in severe Covid-19 patients, in favor of a possible associated coagulopathy. The purpose of this study is to describe the rate of pulmonary embolus in patients classified as COVID-19 infection and who underwent chest CT angiography. The purpose of this study is to describe the rate of pulmonary embolus in patients classified as COVID-19 infection and who underwent chest CT angiography.
Worldwide observational studies indicate a significant prothrombogenic effect associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection with a high incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE), notably life-threatening pulmonary embolism. According to recommendations for acute medical illnesses, all COVID-19 hospitalized patients should be given VTE prophylaxis such as a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). A standard prophylactic dose (eg. Enoxaparin 4000IU once daily) could be insufficient in obese patients and VTE has been reported in patients treated with a standard prophylactic dose. In COVID-19 patients, guidelines from several international societies confirm the existence of an hypercoagulability and the importance of thromboprophylaxis but the "optimal dose is unknown" and comparative studies are needed. In view of these elements, carrying out a trial comparing various therapeutic strategies for the prevention of VTE in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 constitutes a health emergency. Thus, we hypothesize that an increased prophylactic dose of weight-adjusted LMWH would be greater than a lower prophylactic dose of LMWH to reduce the risk of life-threatening VTE in hospitalized patients. The benefit-risk balance of this increase dose will be carefully evaluated because of bleeding complications favored by possible renal / hepatic dysfunctions, drug interactions or invasive procedures in COVID-19 patients. This multicenter randomized (1:1) open-label controlled trial will randomize hospitalized adults with COVID-19 infection to weight-adjusted prophylactic dose vs. lower prophylactic dose of LMWH.

Measure: All-Cause Mortality Time: 28 days and 2 monthsDescription: Identification of associations between the risk of venous thromboembolism and clinical (eg. past medical history of thrombosis, cardiovascular risk factors, treatments, severity of COVID-19) and laboratory variables (e.g. D-dimers, fibrinogen, CRP) collected in the eCRF
Measure: Factors associated with the risk of venous thromboembolism Time: 28 daysSevere COVID-19 patients at a high risk of venous thromboembolism. We studied patients in 2 intensive care units of university hospitals in Barcelona and Badalona, Spain. We performed a cut-off screening of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) with bilateral duplex ultrasound to 230 patients.
Description: Patients with symptomatic pulmonary embolism confirmed on the CT-angiography and those with a swollen limb and confirmed deep venous thrombosis on compression ultrasound were considered to have "symptomatic venous thromboembolisms". The remaining patients with positive limb ultrasound or CT-angiography were considered to have "asymptomatic venous thrombembolism"

Measure: Deaths Time: 7 days
