Ilyas S, Henkin S, Martinez‐Camblor P, et al. - Researchers investigated if and how gender, race or ethnicity impacts the risk of thromboembolic events among patients hospitalized with COVID‐19.

• From the American Heart Association Cardiovascular Disease COVID‐19 registry, researchers retrieved data of 21,528 adults hospitalized with COVID‐19 across 107 centers (54.1% men; 38.1% non‐Hispanic White, 25.4% Hispanic, 25.7% non‐Hispanic Black, 0.5% Native American, 4.0% Asian, 0.4% Pacific Islander, and 5.9% other race and ethnicity).

• Venous and arterial thromboembolic events more commonly occurred among men and non‐Hispanic Black adults hospitalized with COVID‐19.

• Overall, risk is higher for these subgroups of patients with more susceptibility to thromboembolic COVID‐19 complications.
