Scientific and Standardization Committee Communication: Clinical Guidance on the Diagnosis, Prevention and Treatment of Venous Thromboembolism in Hospitalized Patients with COVID‐19 2020-05-27 .txt text/plain 3796 155 32 Hospitalized acutely-ill medical patients, including those with infections such as viral pneumonia, are at increased risk for VTE, and antithrombotic practice guidelines recommend thromboprophylaxis with twice-or thrice-daily subcutaneous unfractionated heparin (UFH) oncedaily subcutaneous low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), or fondaparinux to reduce this risk, although fondaparinux is infrequently used due to its long half-life and reversibility concerns [11, 12] . All rights reserved the absence of COVID-19-specific data, it is reasonable to consider extended-duration thromboprophylaxis with LMWH or a DOAC for at least 2 weeks and up to 6 weeks post-hospital discharge in selected COVID-19 patients who are at low risk for bleeding and with key VTE risk factors such as advanced age, stay in the ICU, cancer, a prior history of VTE, thrombophilia, severe immobility, an elevated D-dimer (>2 times ULN), and an IMPROVE VTE score of 4 or more. ./cache/cord-342603-k0f33p3l.txt ./txt/cord-342603-k0f33p3l.txt
