Systematic Screening for Venous Thromboembolic Events in COVID-19 Pneumonia

The Incidence of Pulmonary Thromboembolism in Critically Ill Patients With COVID-19: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis and Meta-Regression of Observational Studies

“…[13, 16, 17, 19-22, 24, 25] Four studies were considered to have serious overall risk of bias due to the presence of missing data such as patient comorbidities and ICU characteristics. [12,15,18,23] Characteristics of included studies…”

“…We included 14 studies with a total of 1182 patients into this systematic review and meta-analysis. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] A summary of study characteristics can be seen in Table 2, whereas a summary of patient characteristics can be seen in Table 3. [16,21] su cient information on anticoagulation practices, 100% of patients received at least prophylactic anticoagulation.…”

“…[15] Modality and indication for pulmonary thromboembolism imaging Contrast-enhanced computed tomographic scan was the principal modality used to diagnose PTE in all included studies. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] Eight studies speci cally reported the indication for performing PTE imaging. [14-16, 19, 20, 22, 23, 25] All eight studies adopted a selective approach based on the patient's clinical condition to decide if PTE imaging was required.…”

“…2). [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] Signi cant statistical heterogeneity was present as evidenced by high I 2 value and a Cochran's Q test P value of less than 0.1. Meta-regression and moderator assessment Meta-regression with a mixed-effects model was performed to examine if the observed heterogeneity could be contributed by possible moderators such as patient or study characteristics (Table 4).…”
