Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study COVID-EP is to classify all the complications occurring after the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism in patients tested initially COVID-19 positive and negative by RT-PCR (on nasopharyngeal sample) during the peak of the pandemic in France (April 2020). The patients will be followed for 1 year in order to provide clinical and paraclinical data not yet published in the literature. In order to secondarily confirm the COVID-19 status of initially negative COVID-19 patients (by RT-PCR), a serology test will be performed. The collected complications will then be compared between each of the 3 following groups: \[PCR-COVID 19-Neg \& Sero-COVID 19-Neg\] versus \[PCR-COVID 19-Neg \& Sero-COVID 19-Pos\] versus \[PCR-COVID 19-Pos\].

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

[PCR-COVID 19-Pos] group

Having a microbiological diagnosis confirming COVID-19 infection (ie positive RT-PCR on nasopharyngeal swab) and/or clinical/CT signs

No interventions assigned to this group

[PCR-COVID 19-Neg] group

Having a microbiological diagnosis confirming the absence of COVID-19 infection (ie negative RT-PCR on nasopharyngeal swab) and absence of clinical /CT signs

Serology test for COVID-19

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

In order to secondarily confirm the COVID-19 status of initially negative COVID-19 patients (by RT-PCR), a serology test will be performed in two parts:

1. ELISA test
2. Rapid Diagnostic tests (only if ELISA test is positive)

[PCR-COVID 19-Neg & Sero-COVID 19-Pos] group

* Having a microbiological diagnosis confirming the absence of COVID-19 infection (ie negative RT-PCR on nasopharyngeal swab) and absence of clinical /CT signs
* Having been tested positive in a serological test for COVID-19 at M3

No interventions assigned to this group

[PCR-COVID 19-Neg & Sero-COVID 19-Neg] group

* Having a microbiological diagnosis confirming the absence of COVID-19 infection (ie negative RT-PCR on nasopharyngeal swab) and absence of clinical /CT signs
* Having been tested negative in a serological test for COVID-19 at M3

No interventions assigned to this group
