In the present meta-analysis that encompasses 5296 ICU patients from 21 observational studies, we identified low –to moderate-certainty evidence for the risk factors for VTE, including the COVID-19 severity (i.e., requirement for mechanical ventilation, use of inotropic drugs, length of hospital stay, and SOFA score at VTE screening) and biological parameters (i.e., D-dimer levels, DIC ISTH criteria, CRP level, troponin T, procalcitonin, thrombocytopenia). Here, CRP is linked to COVID-19.
