Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) can be complicated by a venous tumor thrombus (TT), of which the optimal management is unknown.
Objectives: This study sought to assess the prevalence of TT in RCC, its current management, and its association with venous thromboembolism (VTE), arterial thromboembolism (ATE), major bleeding (MB), and mortality.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with RCC between 2010 and 2019 in our hospital were included and followed from RCC diagnosis until 2 years after, or until an outcome of interest (VTE, ATE, and MB) or death occurred, depending on the analysis.
Diagnostic strategies for suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) have not been prospectively evaluated in COVID-19 patients. Prospective, multicenter, outcome study in 707 patients with both (suspected) COVID-19 and suspected PE in 14 hospitals. Patients on chronic anticoagulant therapy were excluded.

How this high risk in COVID-19 patients compares to those observed in hospitalized patients with other viral pneumonias such as influenza is unknown.
Objectives: To assess the incidence of venous and arterial thrombotic complications in hospitalized patients with influenza as opposed to that observed in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
