Article Synopsis
- Pregnancy can increase the risk of thrombotic and cardiovascular events, but the study investigates this risk specifically for outpatient pregnant women with COVID-19.
- In a sample of 6,585 outpatients, only 169 were pregnant, and by 90 days post-diagnosis, two women had venous thrombosis, resulting in a low thrombotic event rate of 1.20%.
- The study concludes that while the risk of thrombotic and cardiovascular events exists, the absolute rates are low enough that widespread preventative measures may not be necessary for outpatient pregnant women with COVID-19.
