Social disparities in pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic from the Nationwide inpatient Sample.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Studies have shown that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with a hypercoagulable state. Studies have yet to examine the interconnectedness between COVID-19, hypercoagulability, and socioeconomics.
