Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a strong risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination in preventing hospitalization for COVID-19 with VTE.
Adults hospitalized at 21 sites between March 2021 and October 2022 with symptoms of acute respiratory illness were assessed for COVID-19, completion of the original monovalent messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccination series, and VTE. Prevalence of VTE was compared between unvaccinated and vaccinated patients with COVID-19. The vaccine effectiveness (VE) in preventing COVID-19 hospitalization with VTE was calculated using a test-negative design. The VE was also stratified by predominant circulating severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variant.
Among 18 811 patients (median age [interquartile range], 63 [50-73] years; 49% women; 59% non-Hispanic white, 20% non-Hispanic black, and 14% Hispanic; and median of 2 comorbid conditions [interquartile range, 1-3]), 9792 were admitted with COVID-19 (44% vaccinated), and 9019 were test-negative controls (73% vaccinated). Among patients with COVID-19, 601 had VTE diagnosed by hospital day 28, of whom 170 were vaccinated. VTE was more common among unvaccinated than vaccinated patients with COVID-19 (7.8% vs 4.0%; P = .001). The VE against COVID-19 hospitalization with VTE was 84% overall (95% confidence interval, 80%-87%), and VE stratified by predominant circulating variant was 88% (73%-95%) for Alpha, 93% (90%-95%) for Delta, and 68% (58%-76%) for Omicron variants.
Vaccination with the original monovalent mRNA series was associated with a decrease in COVID-19 hospitalization with VTE, though data detailing prior history of VTE and use of anticoagulation were not available. These findings will inform risk-benefit considerations for those considering vaccination.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是静脉血栓栓塞症(VTE)的一个重要风险因素。很少有研究评估COVID-19疫苗接种在预防合并VTE的COVID-19患者住院方面的有效性。
对2021年3月至2022年10月期间在21个地点因急性呼吸道疾病症状住院的成年人进行COVID-19、原始单价信使核糖核酸(mRNA)COVID-19疫苗接种系列完成情况及VTE评估。比较未接种疫苗和接种疫苗的COVID-19患者中VTE的患病率。采用检测阴性设计计算预防合并VTE的COVID-19住院的疫苗有效性(VE)。VE也按主要流行的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)变异株进行分层。
在18811例患者中(中位年龄[四分位间距],63[50 - 73]岁;49%为女性;59%为非西班牙裔白人,20%为非西班牙裔黑人,14%为西班牙裔;合并症中位数为2种[四分位间距,1 - 3]),9792例因COVID-19入院(44%接种过疫苗),9019例为检测阴性对照(73%接种过疫苗)。在COVID-19患者中,601例在住院第28天被诊断为VTE,其中170例接种过疫苗。未接种疫苗的COVID-19患者比接种疫苗的患者VTE更常见(7.8%对4.0%;P = 0.001)。预防合并VTE的COVID-19住院的总体VE为84%(95%置信区间,80% - 87%),按主要流行变异株分层的VE分别为:阿尔法变异株88%(73% - 95%),德尔塔变异株93%(90% - 95%),奥密克戎变异株68%(58% - 76%)。
接种原始单价mRNA疫苗系列与合并VTE的COVID-19住院率降低有关,尽管详细的VTE既往史和抗凝药物使用数据不可得。这些发现将为考虑接种疫苗者的风险效益考量提供参考。
