摘要

Patients with earlier SARS-CoV-2 variants are at increased risk of venous and arterial thromboembolic (VTE, ATE) events. Here we aimed to contextualise the incidence of thromboembolic events among patients with COVID-19 during the Omicron period. We conducted a population-based cohort study using electronic health records from the UK (CPRD GOLD), the Netherlands (IPCI), and Spain (SIDIAP) within the DARWIN EU® network. Two cohorts were included: a pre-pandemic population (2017–2019) and individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 during the Omicron-dominant period. We estimated incidence rates (IRs) of VTE, ATE, and other cardiovascular events at 30-, 60-, 90-, and 180-days post-infection. Crude incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and age-sex standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated relative to the pre-pandemic cohort. Analyses were stratified by prior infection, vaccination status, and immunocompromised status. In total, we included over 7.6 million individuals (CPRD GOLD: 5.28 M; IPCI: 1.59 M; SIDIAP: 0.75 M) in the general population cohort, and about 0.8 million individuals (CPRD GOLD: 248,847; IPCI: 330,200; SIDIAP: 200,563) in the COVID-19 Omicron cohort. Crude IRs varied by outcome and data source. For VTE, IRs per 100,000 person-years were 136 [95%CI 131–141] in SIDIAP, 167 [164–169] in CPRD GOLD, and 264 [259–270] in IPCI. Elevated SIRs for VTE and ATE were observed following SARS-CoV-2 infection, highest within 30 days and persisting up to 180 days. In CPRD GOLD, the VTE SIR was 3.61 [2.45–5.53] at 30 days, decreasing to 1.88 [1.52–2.34] at 180 days. Higher SIRs were observed among immunocompromised individuals and those without prior infection. Our findings indicate that among individuals diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection during the Omicron-dominant period, observed rates of thromboembolic events exceeded expected background incidence, particularly in the early post-infection period.
