CRP and COVID-19: A multicenter retrospective study involving 1240 COVID-19 patients reported an incidence of PE of 8.3% and, interestingly, the administration of prophylactic doses of anticoagulants or anticoagulant therapy was a protective factor for COVID-19 patients (odds ratio of 0.83–0.87), whereas male sex, increased C-reactive protein (CRP), and the days from the onset of symptoms to hospitalization were independent predictors of PE [54].
