CONCLUSIONS: The observed risk for VTE in COVID‐19 is high, particularly in ICU patients, which should lead to a high level of clinical suspicion and low threshold for diagnostic imaging for DVT or PE. 1, 2 Additionally, more pronounced coagulation activation seems to be correlated with a severe disease course, including admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and death. In a cohort of 81 ICU patients in China, in which routine thromboprophylaxis was not the standard of care, the proportion of patients who were diagnosed with DVT was 25%; a follow-up duration or cumulative incidence was not reported. The 3% risk of VTE among patients who were not admitted to ICU is considerable, despite the standard use of thrombosis prophylaxis.
