UnknownAssessing differential application of thromboprophylaxis regimes related to risk of pulmonary embolism and mortality in COVID-19 patients through instrumental variable analysis.
Thrombotic complications are common in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, with pulmonary embolism (PE) being the most frequent. Randomised trials have provided inconclusive results on the optimal dosage of thromboprophylaxis in critically ill COVID-19 patients. We utilized data from the m...
