Table 3 Regression analysis of predictors of PE in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 with and without a PE

Variable	Odds ratio [95% CI]	P-value
Peak D-dimer COPD/bronchial asthma Time from symptom onset to admission (days) PESI score at time of CTA Hypertension Admission total bilirubin Admission platelets Admission troponin Admission AST	1.06 (0.998–1.119) 0.22 (0.06–0.68) 1.11 (1.03–1.20) 1.02 (1.01–1.04) 0.34 (0.13–0.85) 2.27 (0.97–5.85) 1.003 (0.999–1.008) 3.67 (0.91–62.72) 0.99 (0.98-1.00)	0.06 0.01 0.008 0.008 0.02 0.07 0.1 0.24 0.17

Note – Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to build the model to predict pulmonary embolism and stepwise selection was used for variable selection. Bold indicates statistical significance (p < 0.05). COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; PESI = pulmonary embolism severity index; CTA = computed tomography pulmonary angiography; AST = aspartate transaminase
