Figure 1
DVT and Plasma D-dimer in 56 Mechanically Ventilated SARS-CoV-2 Patients (Left) Study groups as percentages of the total (numbers) according to the deep vein thrombosis (DVT) presence and site at the initial and second ultrasound. Color significance is detailed in the figure. (Right)Diamonds represent individual concentrations of D-dimer at the initial ultrasound according to the DVT presence and site, with the same color significance as in the left panel. In the “No DVT” group, the salmondiamonds and the light bluediamonds represent D-dimer in patients who developed femoral and calf DVT, respectively, at the second ultrasound. ∗Missing D-dimer in 1 patient with popliteal DVT at the second ultrasound. SARS-CoV-2 = severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2.
