Pulmonary embolism–related mortality during the COVID‐19 pandemic: Data from the United States

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: The COVID‐19 pandemic has resulted in excess deaths directly and indirectly due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) and its sequelae,1 and significant racial and ethnic disparities have been demonstrated in COVID‐19–related and unrelated excess deaths.2,3 Studies have also documented higher rates of thrombotic complications in individuals with SARS‐CoV‐2.4,5 Therefore, we hypothesized that pulmonary embolism (PE)‐related mortality increased and that there were racial and ethnic disparities in PE mortality during the COVID‐19 pandemic.
