Özet:

 Objectives: COVID-19 PCR positivity has been reported among asymptomatic individuals and asymptomatic people are also considered to be at risk for thromboembolic events. The aim of this study was to compare the results of patients who underwent lower extremity Doppler ultrasonography DUS with a preliminary diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis DVT before and after the pandemic, regardless of COVID-19 PCR testing. Methods: Patients who underwent RDUS in the Department of Radiology during a total period of 35 months 01082018 - 01072021 were analyzed. A total of 599 patients underwent RDUS during the study period. Results: More pozitif DVT findings were observed after the pandemic n43, 18.3, p0.005 only two of these patients had a positive COVID-19 PCR result. History of hospitalization in the last three months, D-dimer, PLT, MPV, WBC, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, NLR values, comorbidity and antiaggregant use were not different p0.05. Conclusion: Even individuals especially elderly individuals who have been exposed to the virus during the pandemic but who do not show symptoms are at risk of DVT.

 Amaç: COVID-19 testi pozitifliği asemptomatik bireyler arasında bildirilmiştir ve asemptomatik kişilerin de tromboembolik olaylar için risk altında olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, COVID-19 testinden bağımsız olarak, pandemi öncesi ve sonrasında derin ven trombozu DVT ön tanısıyla alt ekstremite Doppler ultrasonografisi DUS yapılan hastaların sonuçlarını karşılaştırmaktır. Yöntem: Toplam 35 aylık süre boyunca 01082018 - 01072021 Radyoloji Bölümünde RDUS yapılan hastalar analiz edildi. Çalışma dönemi boyunca toplam 599 hastaya RDUS yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Pandemi sonrasında daha fazla pozitif DVT bulgusu gözlenmiştir n43, 18,3, p0,005 bu hastaların yalnızca ikisinde pozitif COVID-19 sonucu vardı. Son üç ay içinde hastaneye yatış öyküsü, D-dimer, platelet PLT, ortalama platelet hacmi MPV, lökosit sayısı WBC, nötrofil sayısı, lenfosit sayısı, nötrofil lenfosit oranı NLR değerleri, komorbidite ve antiagregan kullanımı farklı değildi p0.05. Sonuç: Pandemi sırasında virüse maruz kalan ancak semptom göstermeyen bireyler özellikle yaşlı bireyler bile DVT riski altındadır.
