To identify associated factors that affect the development of thromboembolism in patients admitted with the diagnosis of COVID-19.Methods: To determine the risks of VTE patients, an institution-based case control research was conducted using SPSS version 26, multivariable binary logistic regression analysis was used.Results: Significant factors associated with the development of VTE in COVID-19 patients included having a severe case (AOR = 0.38, 95% CI = 0.149– 0.961), risk factors for VTE (AOR = 2.57, 95% CI = 1.18– 5.33), diabetes (AOR = 3.745, 95% CI = 1.715– 8.176), chest pain (AOR = 4.13, 95% CI = 1.89– 9), stage 1 hypertension levels (AOR = 3.67, 95% CI = 1.37– 9.836), and hospital anticoagulation (AOR = 11.78, 95% CI = 5.25– 26.4).Conclusion: The results of VTE in individuals with COVID-19 imply a direct association between severe COVID-19 and diabetes, having risk factors, hypertension, and hospital anticoagulation.
