Abstract

Thrombosis is common in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated moderate illness. A systematic review and meta-analysis reported venous thromboembolism in 7.9% of such patients, often despite the use of standard thromboprophylaxis.[1] Microvascular thrombosis associated with COVID-19 may contribute to other complications including critical illness, respiratory failure, and death. At the same time, increasing the intensity of anticoagulation in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 comes at the cost of increased bleeding.[2] As such, there has been intense interest in establishing the optimal intensity of anticoagulation in patients with COVID-19-associated moderate illness.
