Table 5.
The comparison of physical examination between PE and non-PE patients with COVID-19.
| Examination | Sample size | Pooled results | Analytic effect model | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Estimate | 95% CI | P value | |||
| Respiratory rate (breaths/min) | 30 | MD 2.00 | –4.69, 8.69 | 0.56 | Fixed effect model |
| Heart rate (beats/min) | 30 | MD -2.00 | –17.54, 13.54 | 0.80 | Fixed effect model |
| Systolic BP (mm Hg) | 30 | MD -2.00 | –17.56, 13.56 | 0.80 | Fixed effect model |
| Diastolic BP (mm Hg) | 30 | MD 4.00 | –10.88, 18.88 | 0.60 | Fixed effect model |
| Temperature, ˚C | 30 | MD 0.00 | –1.57, 1.57 | 1.00 | Fixed effect model |
| Lower limb edema | 16 | OR 0.56 | 0.02, 17.92 | 0.74 | Fixed effect model |
BP = blood pressure, COVID-19 = coronavirus disease 2019, OR = odds ratio, PE = pulmonary embolism.
