What is Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Prevalence of Venous Thromboembolic Events in Novel Coronavirus Disease-2019 Patients about?

## Background: Emerging clinical evidence has shown that patients with the novel coronavirus disease-2019 (covid-19) have complications that include venous thromboembolism (vte), consisting of deep vein thrombosis (dvt) and pulmonary embolism (pe). the prevalence of vte in patients hospitalized with covid-19 is unclear. ## Methods: Eligible studies on covid-19 were collected from pubmed, web of science, and embase. patient characteristics and information were extracted for three categories of patients: consecutive, icu, and non-icu group. all pes and dvts were diagnosed by computed tomographic pulmonary arteriography and duplex ultrasound examination, respectively. a subgroup analysis of testing strategies in icu and non-icu patients for pe and dvt was also performed. ## Results: Forty clinical studies involving 7966 patients hospitalized with covid-19 were included. pooled vte prevalence was 13% in consecutive patients (95% confidence interval [ci], 0.05-0.24; i = 97%), 7% in non-icu patients (95% ci, 0.01-0.18; i = 93%), and 31% in icu patients (95% ci, 0.22-0.42; i = 91%). icu patients had the highest prevalence of pe among the three groups (17% [95% ci, 0.12-0.23] vs 8% in cons
