Abstract:Background
The ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine is associated with vaccine-induced thrombosis and thrombocytopenia (VITT). Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) under hemodialysis are at elevated risk of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, which shares similar mechanisms with VITT. We aimed to examine the risk of VITT after the first dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine using a self-controlled case series analysis (SCCS) in the hemodialyzed ESRD population.
