ABSTRACT
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is associated with increased risk for macro- and micro-thrombi. Consensus guidelines recommend use of thromboprophylaxis in nonobstetric patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection admitted to the hospital. National-level studies evaluating venous thromboembolism (VTE) among pregnant and postpartum individuals with and without SARS-CoV-2 infection have not been completed. We performed a retrospective cohort study of individuals aged 18 years or older delivering at more than 20 weeks of gestation with data in the MarketScan Commercial Insurance Database from 2016 through 2020. Of 811,008 deliveries, SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy or through 6 weeks postpartum was associated with increased risk for VTE compared with no infection (1.0% vs 0.5%, adjusted hazard ratio 2.62, 95% CI 1.60-4.29). Findings support further consideration of thromboprophylaxis in the obstetric population with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
