The incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) for non‐hospitalised patients with coronavirus disease‐2019 infection has not been very widely studied. 13 019 persons with a positive SARS‐CoV‐2 nucleic acid amplification test were identified. In total, 447 (0.2%) VTEs were identified in the study population, 293 (66%) of these were pulmonary embolisms. A positive SARS‐CoV‐2 test did not increase the risk for VTE in the univariate analysis (odds ratio (OR): 1.0, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.69–1.4) or multivariable analysis (OR: 1.36, 95% CI: 0.93–1.97).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
