Description of CME Course
Infection by the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), the cause of COVID-19, has been associated with numerous other medical complications aside from the known respiratory effects. Specifically, it is recognized that COVID-19 predisposes patients to thrombotic events in both the arterial and venous circulations. As a result, guidelines from several medical organizations recommend the use of prophylactic anticoagulation in patients with COVID-19. Nonetheless, these guidelines rely on expert opinionlevel recommendations, as firm data are lacking. Over time, our knowledge on the use of anticoagulation has been expanding, initially from case series, followed by systemwide reports and international registries. Numerous randomized trials are ongoing. Despite this, a systematic review published in October 2020 found insufficient evidence to determine risks and benefits of use of prophylactic anticoagulation in patients with COVID-19. It is in this landscape that the current study was performed.
