Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is frequently observed in patients with
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). However, reported VTE rates differ substantially.
Objectives We aimed at evaluating available data and estimating the prevalence of VTE in
patients with COVID‐19. Methods We conducted a systematic literature search (MEDLINE,
EMBASE, World Health Organization COVID‐19 database) to identify studies reporting VTE
rates in patients with COVID‐19. Studies with suspected high risk of bias were excluded …

Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) may complicate the course of Coronavirus
Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Objectives To evaluate the incidence of VTE in patients with
COVID-19. Methods MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PubMed were searched up to 24th June 2020
for studies that evaluated the incidence of VTE, including pulmonary embolism (PE) and/or
deep vein thrombosis (DVT), in patients with COVID-19. Pooled proportions with
corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) and prediction intervals (PI) were calculated by …
