Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:The main limitations of our study are the small sample size, and the lack of generalized study with CTPA in all the admitted COVID patients at hospital. It is possible that our incidence of PE, as in other studies, is probably highly underestimated due to the paucity of CTPA performed for PE during hospitalization, and most of the studies included only critical patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). In fact, the risk for VTE in COVID-19 patients is high, particularly in ICU patients. We therefore cannot establish a realistic prevalence for PE in all our COVID patients. Another limitation is the possible bias of patient selection by incorporating only the most severe or expected diagnosis of PE results, but this has been attempted to control by consecutive incorporation of all CTPA performed. A considerable incidence of PE diagnosed by CTPA in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients in our hospital has been observed, despite thrombo-prophylaxis. The infected patients with PE should be examined for assessing myocardial damage.
