A new research from Sweden finds an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis up to three months after COVID infection.
The study published in BMJ has found that COVID is an independent risk factor for deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and bleeding, and that the risk of these outcomes is increased for three, six, and two months after COVID-19, respectively. The study also found a higher risk of events in patients with comorbidities, patients with more severe covid-19, and during the first pandemic wave compared with the second and third waves.
