Abstract

The article assesses concomitant diabetes mellitus as a risk factor for venous thromboembolic complications in patients with covid-19 in hospital settings. We analyzed 123 case histories of patients hospitalized for new coronavirus infection in the first wave of COVID-19. The results showed that diabetes mellitus was not an independent risk factor for venous thromboembolic complications in patients with COVID-19.
