Filter by:Thromboembolisms (TEs) in patients with critical COVID-19 has been reported to be three times higher than for other critically ill patients. Immunothrombosis has been proposed as a plausible mechanism for COVID-19 coagulopathy. Corticosteroids improve survival in patients with critical COVID-19, and likely even more so with a higher dose. However, the evidence regarding the impact on the incidence of thromboembolic and bleeding events are currently uncharted. The aim of this study is to investigate if there is a difference in the incidence of thromboembolic events during ICU stay in patients with critical COVID-19 when treated with 12 mg dexamethasone compared to 6 mg dexamethasone.
