Abstract

Background: The social determinants of health (SDOH) of patients with COVID-19-related thrombosis have been scarcely explored. Our objective was to investigate the cases of thrombosis in a group of socially disadvantaged populations with COVID-19. Methods: We investigated the thrombotic events that occurred in a cohort of migrant and Spanish patients with COVID-19 that were admitted to a medicalized hotel in Madrid. Demographic data, past medical history, and socio-economic backgrounds, such as monthly household income, level of education, and living conditions, were explored to determine the factors related to thrombosis. Results: A cohort of 383 subjects (mean age 55.4 ± 14.6 years old, 69% male), of which 58% were migrants, was studied. Fourteen (3.6%) cases of thrombosis were reported. Thrombosis was more frequent in Spanish than in migrant individuals (OR 5.3, 95%CI 1.4–19.5, p = 0.005). Neither a low monthly household income nor a low education level showed a statistical association with thrombosis ( p ≥ 0.05). History of venous thromboembolism (OR 8.1, 95%CI 2.2–28.6) and being a current smoker (OR 4.7, 95%CI 1.3–16.0) were factors associated with thrombosis. Conclusions: The SDOH studied were not associated with thrombosis; however, further investigation must be performed to investigate the socio-economic conditions of subjects with COVID-19 with adverse outcomes such as thrombotic events.
