Anticoagulant Therapy and 28-days Mortality in Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients

Completed
Conditions
Thromboembolic Events
Bleeding
Covid-19
Interventions
Drug: Dose of Tinzaparin or Dalteparin
Registration Number
NCT04412304
Lead Sponsor
Karolinska Institutet
Brief Summary

The aims of the study are to to associate anticoagulation (AC) regime with outcome in critically ill patients with Covid-19. This will be done by describe baseline characteristics and comorbidities before hospital admission, level of organ support and dose of AC treatment and associate this with 28 days survival, survival outside ICU, thromboembolic event and bleeding complications.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
28-days ICU mortality28 days from ICU-admission

28-days ICU mortality from admission to the ICU. Discontinue of ICU-care to palliative care counts as death.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of thromboembolic events28 days from ICU-admission

Thromboembolic events are defined as pulmonary emboli (PE), deep venous thrombus (DVT), ischemic stroke and other peripheral arterial emboli. PE is defined as PE verified by computer tomography or by findings of acute strain of the right heart on echocardiography combined with a clinical interpretation of the patients deteriorating as a probable PE stated in the medical records. DVT is defined as DVT verified with ultrasound. Ischemic stroke is defined as ischemic stroke verified by computer tomography. Peripheral arterial emboli are defined as peripheral arterial emboli verified by computer tomography.

Incidence of bleeding events28 days from ICU-admission

The event of bleeding will be defined by WHO modified bleeding scale as 1-4.

ICU-free days alive from ICU-admission.28 days from ICU-admission

ICU-free days alive during 28 days from ICU-admission. Counts as 0 days if discharged to ward for palliative treatment.
