Abstract
The association between COVID-19 and coagulation disorders has been discussed since the onset of the pandemic. Four years into the pandemic, it is crucial to organize the findings and evidence accumulated thus far. The objective of this study was to review and synthesize the available scientific evidence regarding the relationship between COVID-19 and development of venous thromboembolism (VTE). A rapid systematic review was conducted by searching two electronic databases, selecting systematic review articles that assessed the association between COVID-19 and development of VTE, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE). The studies indicated that hospitalized COVID-19 patients are at greater risk of developing VTE, especially those admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). Elevated D-dimer levels and male gender were also associated with increased risks.
