Pulmonary embolism in hospitalised patients with COVID-19 2020-07-10 .txt text/plain 2691 176 55 OBJECTIVES: To determine the incidence of PE in hospitalised patients with COVID-19 and the diagnostic yield of Computer Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) for PE. PATIENTS/METHODS: Retrospective review of single-centre data of all CTPA studies in patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 identified from Electronic Patient Records (EPR). RESULTS: There were 1477 patients admitted with COVID-19 and 214 CTPA scans performed, of which n = 180 (84%) were requested outside of critical care. We therefore examined the clinical and radiographic characteristics of patients with COVID-19, who underwent pulmonary imaging for possible thrombotic disease. Using the Electronic Patient Records (EPR; Allscripts Sunriseā„¢, Chicago, Il), we collected data for vital signs (including the National Early Warning Score 2; NEWS2 [20] ), components of Wells score from the clinical notes (not the completed imaging request form), basic demographic data, laboratory values and imaging results (CTPA and venous ultrasonography, if performed). ./cache/cord-333800-qqe331ok.txt ./txt/cord-333800-qqe331ok.txt
