    Abstract

    Background: Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) has emerged as a significant complication among patients with COVID-19, reflecting a complex interaction of inflammatory and thrombotic processes. Objective: This study aims to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of PTE in COVID-19 patients. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 200 COVID-19 patients who were evaluated for PTE. Data were collected on clinical presentations, imaging findings, and laboratory results. The study was conducted at a tertiary care center from January 2021 to December 2021. Results: The prevalence of PTE among COVID-19 patients was found to be significant. Specific characteristics including elevated D-dimer levels, and certain comorbidities were frequently associated with PTE. Conclusion: This study highlights the notable prevalence of PTE in COVID-19 patients and underscores the need for vigilant assessment and management strategies in this population. Keywords: COVID-19, Pulmonary Thromboembolism, Prevalence.
