    AimTo assess the differences in clinical and laboratory parameters of non-hospitalized patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) according to the SARS-CoV-2 status.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed demographic, clinical, laboratory, and ultrasound data of adult patients admitted to the Emergency Department of University Hospital Split between March 2020 and January 2021. Patients were classified into three groups: recent COVID-19 (<1 month), non-recent COVID-19 (1 to 12 months), and non-COVID-19.ResultsFifty (47.2%) of 106 patients had a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection (23 patients in the recent COVID-19 and 27 in non-recent COVID-19 group). The three groups did not significantly differ in demographic and clinical parameters, including the location of deep venous thrombosis. The recent COVID-19 group had significantly higher neutrophils and CRP levels, and significantly lower prothrombin than the other two groups.ConclusionOur results confirm the role of elevated inflammatory and coagulation response in DVT development in the first month after the infection, but not in non-recent COVID-19 or non-COVID-19 patients.
