ANALYSIS OF EPIDEMIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PATIENTS WITH VENOUS THROMBOSIS IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OF A 3A HOSPITAL IN SHENZHEN DURING COVID-19 EPIDEMIC

Objective To explore the impact of COVID-19 on the incidence of thrombosis in Shenzhen, analyze the epidemiological characteristics of thrombotic diseases during the epidemic period, and predict the long-term incidence trend. Methods The data of thrombus patients in the emergency Department of Peking University Shenzhen Hospital from January 2017 to June 2024 were collected. R4.3.1 was used for statistical analysis. Results There were 115 patients with thrombus before the epidemic(January 2017 to December 2019), the male to female ratio was about 0.89:1. During the epidemic period(January 2020-Decenmber 2022), 190 patients with thrombosis were diagnosed, with a male/female ratio of 1.23:1. Since the epidemic(January 2023 to June 2024), 67 patients with thrombosis, the ratio of male to female is about 0.91:1. The number of patients in the 31~60 age group was the largest(51.30%,45.79%,44.78%, respectively). The main type of thrombotic disease was venous thrombosis (90.32%). Conclusion The COVID-19 epidemic significantly increased the incidence of thrombotic diseases, but with the popularization of vaccines and epidemic control, the incidence of thrombotic patients gradually recovered to the pre-epidemic level.
