Association between Covid-19 and Pulmonary Embolism (AC-19-PE study)
Abstract
The frequency of PE in COVID patients attending Spanish and French ED is around 0.7%
The risk of PE in patients coming to ED is more than 7-fold higher in COVID than in non-COVID population.
However, once PE is suspected and CTPA is ordered, the rate of PE diagnosis is similar in COVID and non-COVID patients.
