COVID‐19 comorbidities, associated procoagulant extracellular vesicles and venous thromboembolisms: a possible link with ethnicity? by Inal, Jameel

“…In a meta-analysis of seven studies (1,576 infected patients) the co-morbidities included hypertension (21.1%), diabetes (9.7%), cardiovascular disease (CVD), (8.4%) and respiratory system disease (1.5%). Of the critically ill COVID-19 patients with these co-morbidities and an associated hyperinflammatory state admitted to intensive care units (ICUs), up to 31% suffered thrombotic episodes (even with thromboprophylaxis), in particular, venous thromboembolisms (VTE), one of the important sequelae of COVID-19.…”
