Table 2.
Incidence and location of pulmonary embolisms stratified by ancestral strain and variants (n = 720).
| Total | Ancestral strain | Alpha variant | Delta variant | Omicron variant | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frequency of pulmonary embolism | 76/720 (11%) | 42/358 (12%) | 5/60 (8%) | 16/152 (11%) | 13/150 (9%) | .75* |
| Most proximal anatomical location | ||||||
| Main/lobar | 19/76 (25%) | 13/42 (31%) | 2/5 (40%) | 1/16 (6%) | 3/13 (23%) | .41* |
| Segmental | 46/76 (61%) | 22/42 (52%) | 3/5 (60%) | 12/16 (75%) | 9/13 (69%) | |
| Subsegmental | 11/76 (14%) | 7/42 (17%) | 0/5 (0%) | 3/16 (19%) | 1/13 (8%) | |
Fisher exact test was performed among ancestral strain, Alpha variant, Delta variant, and Omicron variant.
