Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in COVID-19 patients after they were discharged from the hospital, tracking 1,529 patients for at least 45 days through follow-up calls.
- - Out of those, 228 patients reported potential VTE symptoms, but only one was diagnosed with symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE), leading to a low rate of symptomatic VTE of 0.2% within the study period.
- - The findings suggest that routine use of extended thromboprophylaxis after hospitalization for COVID-19 may not be beneficial, indicating that further randomized trials are needed to clarify this issue.
