Starting from these premises, we here aimed to define VTE rates and types, not considering peripheral and central catheter-related thrombosis, among a cohort of COVID-19 patients during their hospital stay at the San Matteo Hospital Foundation (Pavia, Northern Italy). We extracted data from medical records of all 259 consecutive patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 admitted to the Departments of Internal Medicine, Infectious Disease, Intensive Care, and Respiratory Disease of the San Matteo Hospital Foundation (Pavia, Northern Italy), between March 19th and April 6th, 2020. We reviewed records of all 259 COVID-19 patients for demographic information, co-morbidities, risk factors for VTE according to the Padua prediction score [16] , laboratory tests and anticoagulation treatment at the time of hospital admission.	./cache/cord-306997-84pjfawk.txt	./txt/cord-306997-84pjfawk.txt
