We also evaluated the extent and severity of COVID-19-associated lung changes in relation to PE.METHODS: The total number of 1,698 patients with CTPA included in the study were divided into 2 groups according to their COVID-19 status and each group was divided into 2 subgroups based on their PE status. These groups and subgroups were compared in terms of location of PE, diameter of pulmonary artery, right heart strain, ground-glass opacities (GGO), consolidations and other imaging features.RESULTS: In COVID-19 patients, there was a significant predominance of PE in peripheral branches of pulmonary artery (p < 0.001). There was an increased right-to-left ratio of ventricular diameters in cases with PE (p = 0.032 in patients with COVID-19 and p < 0.001 in non-COVID-19 patients). There was no association between the extent and severity of the disease and distribution of PE.CONCLUSION: COVID-19 is associated with a higher incidence of peripheral location of PE and presence of GGO.
