Pulmonary thromboembolic disease associated with COVID-19 infection: a comparison between geriatric and non-geriatric populations.

Introduction: The magnitude of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection among the elderly population is expected to rise. Our study compares the clinical and computed tomographical (CT) features of pulmonary thromboembolic (PTE) disease associated with COVID-19 infection in geriatric and non-geriatric cases, and explores the 60-day mortality rate in these two groups.

Materials And Methods: We conducted this retrospective cross-sectional study in Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah, Selangor, Malaysia.

Clinical characteristics and computed tomographical features of pulmonary thromboembolic disease associated with COVID-19 infection: A tertiary hospital analysis.

Introduction: The co-existence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and pulmonary thromboembolic (PTE) disease poses a great clinical challenge. To date, few researches have addressed this important clinical issue among the South-East Asian populations. The objectives of this study were as follow: (1) to describe the clinical characteristics and computed tomographical (CT) features of patients with PTE disease associated with COVID-19 infection and (2) to compare these parameters with those COVID-19 patients without PTE disease.
