Clinical Outcomes In Patients With Hematologic Malignancy (Hm) And Covid-19

Background: SARS-CoV-2 infection has been associated with profound infection-induced inflammatory changes including coagulopathy (Connors et al. Blood 2020). Furthermore, venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been described as a common complication among patients with COVID-19 (Tang et al. J Thromb Haemost 2020). Patients with a history of HM who contract SARS-CoV-2 may be at an even higher risk for VTE, given their elevated baseline VTE risk; however, there is limited clinical data for this patient population. Therefore, we performed a retrospective chart review to evaluate clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19 and a history of HM.
