Popis: OBJECTIVE: To study the prevalence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in COVID-19 patients presenting to the Emergency Department of Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, India and its association with inflammatory markers (C-Reactive Protein), D-dimer and severity of ARDS (pO2/FiO2 ratio). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Symptomatic adult patients diagnosed COVID-19 positive by RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 who presented to the Emergency Department of the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, India were screened for lower extremity deep vein thrombosis using compression venous ultrasonography and Doppler scanning. C-reactive protein (quantitative), D-dimer and arterial blood gas analysis for pO2/FiO2 ratio were obtained for all patients. The DVT and no DVT groups were compared with respect to C-Reactive Protein levels, D-dimer levels and pO2/FiO2 ratios and the continuous variables were analysed using Mann-Whitney U test. p-value
