Abstract

Influenza infection is associated with a risk of thrombosis. Whether factors associated with reduced thrombosis might also be associated with reduced risk in patients with severe influenza is unknown. To investigate risk factors associated with thrombosis in patients with severe influenza. We used a cohort data set to identify adults diagnosed with severe influenza. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models explored potential risk factors for thrombosis events in patients with severe influenza. Cox regression analysis was used to examine the risk factors for mortality in patients with severe influenza. A total of 854 patients with severe influenza were included in the analysis. The incidence of VTE was 9.37% (80/854). Multivariable regression analysis showed that previous aspirin medication (OR: 0.37; 95%CI: 0.14-0.84; P = .029) could reduce the risk factor of thrombosis in patients with severe influenza. Compared with patients in the non-thrombosis group, patients in the thrombosis group required more mechanical ventilation (P < .001), tracheostomy (P < .001), ECMO (P = .046), and high-frequency ventilation (P = .004). The incidence of co-infection was higher in the thrombosis group compared to the non-thrombosis group (P = .025). Univariable Cox regression analysis showed that previous aspirin medication (HR 0.52, 95%CI: 0.33-0.82, P = .005) and previous statin medication (HR 0.54, 95%CI: 0.34-0.87, P = .011) were risk factors for 60-day mortality in patients with severe influenza. Patients with severe influenza are at high risk for thrombosis. The effect of aspirin on thrombosis in patients with severe influenza needs further investigation.
