"Catching Covid is associated with a fivefold increase in the risk of deep vein
thrombosis (DVT) and a 33-fold increase in risk of a potentially fatal blood
clot on the lung in the 30 days after becoming infected, data suggests.
The findings, published in the
British Medical Journal on Thursday, could
help explain a doubling in the incidence of, and deaths from, blood clots in
England since the start of the pandemic compared with the same periods in 2018
and 2019.
They also help to put the very small increased risk of blood clots associated
with Covid-19 vaccination into context. “The degree of complications associated
with Covid-19 is much stronger and lasts for much longer than what we might be
getting after vaccination,” said Dr Frederick Ho, a lecturer in public health
at the University of Glasgow, who was not involved in the research."
