Resumen
[Español] El SARS-CoV-2 causa daño endotelial al unirse al receptor de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina 2, lo que produce una respuesta proinflamatoria liberando diversas citoquinas que activan el sistema de coagulación. Consecuencias como el embolismo pulmonar y coagulación intravascular diseminada se han evidenciado en pacientes infectados. Empero, la data concerniente a pacientes ambulatorios positivos al COVID-19 es escasa. Objetivo: Evaluar el riesgo tromboembólico de pacientes ambulatorios positivos a COVID-19 que acuden al en el Hospital General Plaza de la Salud durante el periodo junio 2020-diciembre 2020. Métodos: Se incluyó 100 pacientes positivos a COVID-19 por prueba PCR y antígenos >18 años. Utilizamos medidas de dispersión y tendencia central para describir todas variables cuantitativas continuas. Las variables cualitativas nominales se analizaron por conteo y porcentaje. La correlación de Pearson se utilizó para describir las relaciones entre las variables hematológicas, edad y cantidad de comorbilidades, utilizando un nivel de confianza de 95% con una P<0.05. Resultados: Evaluamos 100 pacientes manejados ambulatoriamente y obtuvimos que 94 de estos tienen valores hematológicos alterados. El 72% tiene el dímero-D elevado, 70% tiene el fibrinógeno elevado, 64% tiene la ferritina elevada y el 61% tiene el tiempo de protrombina elevado. El 67% de los pacientes fueron posteriormente ingresados. Discusión: La correlación de Pearson demuestra relación positiva entre los valores hematológicos, edad y comorbilidades. Se observó que la mayoría de nuestros pacientes ambulatorios presentan alteración en valores hematológicos y/o marcadores inflamatorios.
[English] Introduction: Evidence supports the high mortality rate in patients with COVID-19 induced coagulation dysfunction that could eventually turn into a pulmonary embolism and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC). As of today, little to no data has been collected concerning ambulatory COVID-19 patients, only information regarding hospitalized patients is currently available. Methods: We included 100 patients who were positive to COVID-19 PCR and antigen test >18 years old. All the variables will be organized in a frequency distribution table. All the continuous quantitative variables were analyzed by means of measures of central tendency dispersion. The nominal qualitative variables were described with counts as well as percentages. We used Pearson’s correlation to describe associations between hematologic variables, age and comorbidities, for a confidence level of 95% and a P<0.05. Results: We evaluated 100 ambulatory patients and 94 of them had at least 1 of the hematologic variables altered. 72% had d-dimer elevated, 70% had fibrinogen elevated, 64% had ferritin elevated and 61% had prothrombin time elevated. 67% of the patients required to be admitted. Discussion: We used Pearson’s correlation which shows a positive relation between our hematologic variables, age and comorbidities. We found that the majority of our patients presented an increased in hematologic values and inflammatory markers.
