Multisystem Assessment of the Imaging Manifestations of Coagulopathy in Hospitalized Patients With Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)
Abstract
In patients with COVID-19 with suspected systemic coagulopathy, pulmonary CTA, extremity Doppler ultrasound, contrast-enhanced abdominal CT, and contrast-enhanced brain MRI and MRA may all be appropriate in the absence of imaging contraindications.

Among the 36 articles, 6 retrospective studies documented intestinal ischemia in 55 patients admitted to intensive care units with COVID-19 pneumonia for whom surgical consult was necessary.
“Among these, we identified 6 retrospective studies [16,17,18,19,20,21], documenting intestinal ischemia in 55 patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU) with COVID-19 pneumonia for whom surgical consult was necessary (Table 1).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
