Background A high prevalence of pulmonary embolism (PE) has been described during COVID‐19. Our aim was to identify predictive factors of PE in non‐ICU hospitalized COVID‐19 patients. Methods Data and outcomes were collected upon admission during a French multicenter retrospective study, including patients hospitalized for COVID‐19, with a CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) performed in the emergency department for suspected PE. Predictive factors significantly associated with PE were identified through a multivariate regression model. Results A total of 88 patients (median [IQR] age of 68 years [60‐78]) were analyzed. Based on CTPA, 47 (53.4%) patients were diagnosed with PE, and 41 were not. D‐dimer ≥3000 ng/mL (OR 8.2 [95% CI] 1.3‐74.2, sensitivity (Se) 0.84, specificity (Sp) 0.78, P = .03), white blood count (WBC) ≥12.0 G/L (29.5 [2.3‐1221.2], Se 0.47, Sp 0.92, P = .02), and ferritin ≥480 µg/L (17.0 [1.7‐553.3], Se 0.96, Sp 0.44, P = .03) were independently associated with the PE diagnosis. The presence of the double criterion D‐dimer ≥3000 ng/mL and WBC ≥12.0 G/L was greatly associated with PE (OR 21.4 [4.0‐397.9], P = .004). Conclusion The white blood count, the D‐dimer and ferritin levels could be used as an indication for CTPA to confirm PE on admission in non‐ICU COVID‐19 patients.
