COVID-19 vs Influenza for Risk of Thrombotic Events in Hospitalized Patients —Reply

Patients with influenza in 2018-2019 were selected as the comparator because this pathogen also causes pandemics, results in hospitalization when severe, and is associated with increased risk of acute myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and venous thromboembolism. Evaluating outcomes of COVI...
