Outcomes of patients with COVID-19 and pulmonary embolism compared with COVID-19 patients without pulmonary embolism (control groups A1 and A2) and non-COVID-19 patients with pulmonary embolism (control group B). *Sensitivity analysis is presented only by blue figures (no graphs) and was run using only patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection microbiologically confirmed in the case group (n = 271, 73.6%), control group A1 (n = 271, 73.6%) and control group A2 (n = 275, 74.7%). ¹Adjusted for recent immobilization and chronic heart failure. ²Adjusted for dyspnoea, cough, fever, chest pain and leg swelling/pain as clinical complaints, lactate dehydrogenase, leucocytes, platelets, D-dimer, and ground-glass lung opacities on chest X-ray (missing values were replaced using multiple imputation). ³Adjusted for immunosuppressed and chronic heart failure. ⁴Adjusted by dyspnoea, cough, fever, chest pain, leg swelling/pain as clinical complaints, creatinine, D-dimer, and interstitial lung infiltrates and cardiomegaly on chest X-ray (missing values were replaced using multiple imputation). ⁵Adjusted for age, active cancer, recent immobilization, chronic oestrogen therapy, asthma, active smoker, and chronic heart failure. ⁶Adjusted for dyspnoea, cough, fever, diarrhoea and leg swelling/pain as clinical complaints, haemoglobin, D-dimer, and lung interstitial bilateral infiltrates and ground-glass opacities on chest X-ray (missing values were replaced using multiple imputation). CI, confidence interval; ICU, intensive care unit; OR, odds ratio; PE, pulmonary embolism.
