COVID-19 coagulopathy and thrombosis: Analysis of hospital protocols in response to the rapidly evolving pandemic	2020-09-16		.txt	text/plain	2186	115	30	We found greatest consensus on recommendations for heparin-based pharmacologic venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in COVID-19 patients without contraindications. We found greatest consensus on recommendations for heparin-based pharmacologic venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in COVID-19 patients without contraindications. Protocols differed regarding incorporation of D-dimer tests, dosing of VTE prophylaxis, indications for post-discharge pharmacologic VTE prophylaxis, how to evaluate for VTE, and the use of empiric therapeutic anticoagulation. Among the protocols that J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f Journal Pre-proof addressed a clinical question, we then reported the proportion of institutions that supported a specific practice ("consensus"). Although there was near-universal agreement on the need for heparin-based VTE prophylaxis for COVID-19 inpatients without contraindications, recommended dosing strategies varied across institutions (Figure 1a) . In contrast, four protocols (19%) specifically recommended against empiric therapeutic dosing of anticoagulation based on lab values in the absence of other clinical indications such as proven VTE.	./cache/cord-346135-uidvtpjw.txt	./txt/cord-346135-uidvtpjw.txt
