BAEZ, Abraham Matheus e RIOS-GONZALEZ, Carlos Miguel. Thrombotic arterial complications in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 in a regional hospital in Paraguay. Rev. Nac. (Itauguá) [online]. 2023, vol.15, n.1, pp.47-58. ISSN 2072-8174. https://doi.org/10.18004/rdn2023.jun.01.047.058.
Introduction:
although respiratory failure remains the hallmark and leading cause of death from moderate to severe COVID-19, several cardiovascular complications and numerous cases of thromboembolic disease have been reported.
Objectives:
to determine the prevalence of thrombotic arterial complications in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 in a regional hospital in Paraguay during 2020.
Methodology:
the study was quantitative, observational and descriptive with an analytical component that included patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 confirmed by PCR or IgM-IgG serology who were admitted to the Regional Hospital, selected through non-probabilistic convenience sampling.
Results:
of 282 clinical records, 71% corresponded to males with a median age of 60 years (P25=31 P75=65). 88% of the patients presented a thrombotic arterial complication, where the most altered laboratory value was CRP in 95%. The association between the variables of comorbidity (Peripheral Arterial Disease, COPD, Coronary Heart Disease, Stroke) and prevalence of thrombotic arteries and thus also the D-Dimer (17671,01±22356,21), yielded a statistically significant result.
Conclusions:
the high rate of thrombotic arterial complications in patients with COVID-19 is alarming, in addition to the association of D-Dimer and comorbidities with arterial complications marks the north of the future of their prognosis.
