Brief Summary

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

The overall goal of the VVIRTUOSO study is to determine the incidence of VTE including symptomatic DVT and PE after hospital discharge in patients with COVID-19 by implementing a pragmatic patient-centred prospective virtual VTE monitoring program in Canada and the United States.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Emerging evidence suggests that COVID-19 induces a highly prothrombotic state particularly among hospitalized patients based on abnormal coagulation parameters and high rates of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Reported rates of VTE among hospitalized ward (3%) and critically ill (17% to 69%) patients with COVID-19 suggest that the risk of VTE is substantially higher than patients with other acute medical illnesses. VTE, which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is one of the most common preventable causes of hospital-associated morbidity and mortality, and most events occur after hospital discharge. The incidence of VTE after hospitalization for COVID-19 is not currently known. However, the combination of COVID-induced hypercoagulability, ongoing recovery, reduced mobility, advanced age, and comorbidities likely confers a high risk of VTE in this setting. The overall goal of the VVIRTUOSO study is to determine the incidence of VTE including symptomatic DVT and PE after hospital discharge in patients with COVID-19 by implementing a pragmatic patient-centred prospective virtual VTE monitoring program at 12 sites in Canada and the United States. Additional objectives are to explore risk factors for VTE post-discharge, characterize the use of pharmacological measures for VTE prevention, assess patient awareness of VTE and provide VTE education.
