Methods: Data for 1471 SARS-CoV-2 patients, hospitalized in a single hub during the first pandemic wave, were collected from clinical records, including symptom duration and type, information on lung abnormalities on chest computed tomography (CT), laboratory parameters and the use of NIVS. Determining VTE occurrence during hospital stays was the main endpoint. Results: Patients with VTE (1.8%) had an increased prevalence of obesity (26% vs. 11%), diabetes (41% vs. 21%), higher CHA2DS2VASC score (4, IQR 2\u20135 vs. 3, IQR 1\u20134, age- and sex-adjusted, p = 0.021) and cough (65% vs. 44%) and experienced significantly higher rates of NIVS (44% vs. 8%). Using a stepwise multivariate logistic regression model, the prevalence of electrocardiogram abnormalities (odds ratio (OR) 2.722, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.039\u20137.133, p = 0.042), cough (OR 3.019, 95% CI 1.265\u20137.202, p = 0.013), CHA2DS2-VASC score &gt; 3 (OR 3.404, 95% CI 1.362\u20138.513, p = 0.009) and the use of NIVS (OR 15.530, 95% CI 6.244\u201338.627, p &lt; 0.001) were independently associated with a risk of VTE during hospitalization. NIVS remained an independent risk factor for VTE even after adjustment for the period of admission within the pandemic wave. Conclusions: Our study suggests that NIVS is a risk factor for VTE during hospitalization in SARS-CoV-2 patients. Future studies should assess the optimal prophylactic strategy against VTE in patients with a SARS-CoV-2 infection candidate to non-invasive ventilatory support.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13102737","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,7]],"date-time":"2024-05-07T06:53:27Z","timestamp":1715064807000},"page":"2737","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Non-Invasive Ventilation Support during Hospitalization for SARS-CoV-2 and the Risk of Venous Thromboembolism"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0613-1074","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carmine","family":"Siniscalchi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"General and Specialistic Medicine Department, Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Parma, 43126 Parma, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Parma, Via Antonio Gramsci 14, 43126 Parma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9171-8592","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Ticinesi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Parma, Via Antonio Gramsci 14, 43126 Parma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2680-2242","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio","family":"Nouvenne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Parma, Via Antonio Gramsci 14, 43126 Parma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angela","family":"Guerra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Parma, Via Antonio Gramsci 14, 43126 Parma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alberto","family":"Parise","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Parma, Via Antonio Gramsci 14, 43126 Parma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lorenzo","family":"Finardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Parma, Via Antonio Gramsci 14, 43126 Parma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicoletta","family":"Cerundolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Parma, Via Antonio Gramsci 14, 43126 Parma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Beatrice","family":"Prati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Parma, Via Antonio Gramsci 14, 43126 Parma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Loredana","family":"Guida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Parma, Via Antonio Gramsci 14, 43126 Parma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tiziana","family":"Meschi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Parma, Via Antonio Gramsci 14, 43126 Parma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S495","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amepre.2009.12.017","article-title":"Venous thromboembolism: A public health concern","volume":"38","author":"Beckman","year":"2010","journal-title":"Am.
