Peripheral Vascular System Thrombosis and COVID-19: A Chilling Revelation
Open accessAbstract
Introduction: As the COVID-19 pandemic reaches, its zenith a worrying trend has been noticed of late, that is arterial and venous thrombosis in patients presenting with COVID-19. Arterial and venous thrombosis was found in patients with asymptomatic state to severe affliction and most of them had a delayed presentation. Materials and Methods: An observational study was carried out by the Department of Vascular Surgery, Madurai Medical College. There were around 15200 total admissions between March 15, 2020, to September 30, 2020, in corona specialty hospital and trauma care center affiliated to Madurai medical college, out of which: (1) Acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) was seen in 349 patients. (2) Acute limb ischemia (ALI) was found in 75 patients, out of which 70 patients had lower limb involvement and 5 patients had upper limb involvement. (a) Class 3–50 patients. (b) Class 2b–15 patients, (c) Class 1–10 patients. (3) Acute mesenteric ischemia was seen in 8 patients. Conclusion: COVID-19 is associated with an increased incidence of arterial and venous thrombosis of peripheral vascular system wherein arterial thrombosis, presenting, as ALI is profound and has a multi fold increased incidence than in non-COVID-19 patients and venous thrombosis is much higher than the non COVID-19 state.

“An observational study by Ahmed et al.53 also reported a higher prevalence of men, since 29 of the 349 (60%) cases observed were men, while only 140 were female patients.”

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.
