Vascular thromboembolic events following COVID-19 hospital discharge: Incidence and risk factors.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with high rates of thromboembolic events in hospitalized patients. It remains to be determined if this risk persists following hospital discharge.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of outpatients recently hospitalized for COVID-19 to determine the incidence of vascular thromboembolic events within 30 days of discharge.
