TL;DR: VTE associated with hospitalization was the leading cause of disability-adjusted life-years lost in low- and middle- income countries, and second in high-income countries, responsible for more disability- adjusted life- years lost than nosocomial pneumonia, catheter-related blood stream infections, and adverse drug events.

TL;DR: VTE associated with hospitalization was the leading cause of disability-adjusted-life-years lost in low- and middle-income countries, and second in high- income countries, responsible for more DALYs lost than nosocomial pneumonia, catheter-related blood stream infections, and adverse drug events.

TL;DR: The evidence-based guidelines of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) are intended to support patients, clinicians, and other health care professionals in decisions about the use of anticoagulation for thromboprophylaxis for patients with COVID-19-related critical illness and acute illness who do not have confirmed or suspected venous thromboembolism (VTE) as mentioned in this paper.
