Venous thromboembolism in critically Ill patients with COVID‐19: Results of a screening study for deep vein thrombosis

Abstract

In critically ill patients with SARS-CoV-2 infections, DVT screening at days 5-10 of admission yielded a 32% prevalence of VTE. Seventy-five percent of events occurred before screening. Earlier screening might be effective in optimizing care in ICU patients with COVID-19.
