Title: Prior use of therapeutic anticoagulation does not protect against COVIDâ€19 related clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients: A propensity scoreâ€matched cohort study Cord-id: n1oovybv Document date: 2021_5_7
ID: n1oovybv
Snippet: The hypercoagulable state observed in COVIDâ€19 could be responsible for morbidity and mortality. In this retrospective study we investigated whether therapeutic anticoagulation prior to infection has a beneficial effect in hospitalized COVIDâ€19 patients. This study included 1154 COVIDâ€19 patients admitted to 6 hospitals in the Netherlands between March and May 2020. We applied 1:3 propensity score matching to evaluate the association between prior therapeutic anticoagulation use and clinic
Document: The hypercoagulable state observed in COVIDâ€19 could be responsible for morbidity and mortality. In this retrospective study we investigated whether therapeutic anticoagulation prior to infection has a beneficial effect in hospitalized COVIDâ€19 patients. This study included 1154 COVIDâ€19 patients admitted to 6 hospitals in the Netherlands between March and May 2020. We applied 1:3 propensity score matching to evaluate the association between prior therapeutic anticoagulation use and clinical outcome, with in hospital mortality as primary endpoint. In total, 190 (16%) patients used therapeutic anticoagulation prior to admission. In the propensity score matched analyses, we observed no associations between prior use of therapeutic anticoagulation and overall mortality (risk ratio 1.02 [95% confidence interval; 0.80–1.30]) or length of hospital stay (7.0 [4–12] vs. 7.0 [4–12] days, P = .69), although we observed a lower risk of pulmonary embolism (0.19 [0.05–0.80]). This study shows that prior use of therapeutic anticoagulation is not associated with improved clinical outcome in hospitalized COVIDâ€19 patients.
