Assessment of the Risk of Venous Thromboembolism in Nonhospitalized Patients With COVID-19.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 have higher rates of venous thromboembolism (VTE), but the risk and predictors of VTE among individuals with less severe COVID-19 managed in outpatient settings are less well understood.

Objectives

To assess the risk of VTE among outpatients with COVID-19 and identify independent predictors of VTE.

Design, setting, and participants
