Table 3.
Incidence and location of pulmonary embolisms in ICU patients stratified by ancestral strain and variants (n = 163).
| Total | Ancestral strain | Alpha variant | Delta variant | Omicron variant | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frequency of pulmonary embolism | 27/163 (17%) | 16/102 (16%) | 1/7 (14%) | 7/31 (23%) | 3/23 (13%) | .84* |
| Most proximal anatomical location | ||||||
| Main/lobar | 8/27 (30%) | 6/16 (37.5%) | 1/1 (100%) | 0 (0%) | 1/3 (33%) | .16* |
| Segmental | 14/27 (52%) | 6/16 (37.5%) | 0/1 (0%) | 6/7 (86%) | 2/3 (67%) | |
| Subsegmental | 5/27 (18%) | 4/16 (25%) | 0/1 (0%) | 1/7 (14%) | 0/3 (0%) | |
ICU = intensive care unit.
Fisher exact test was performed among ancestral strain, Alpha variant, Delta variant, and Omicron variant.
