Abstract
Many patients with COVID-19 have thromboembolic complications that worsen their prognosis. Herein, the authors propose a modified version of the CHA2DS2-VASc score, including 1 point for COVID-19, so that prophylaxis to protect against thromboembolic events would be indicated before the condition becomes severe. The advantages of this modification would be prevention of the patient's condition worsening due to thromboembolic problems and reduction of the likelihood of a need for intensive care and mechanical ventilation, reducing mortality.Entities:

Figure 1Mortality from COVID-19 varies by age and health status.4
Structure of the CHA2DS2-VASc score after addition of 1 point for COVID-19 (CHA2DS2-VASc-C19).
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|
| C | Heart failure | 1 |
| H | Hypertension | 1 |
| A2 | Age (≥ 75 years) | 2 |
| D | Diabetes mellitus | 1 |
| S2 | Prior TIA or stroke | 2 |
| V | Vascular disease (prior AMI, aortic plaque, peripheral arterial disease) | 1 |
| A | Age (65-74 years) | 1 |
|
| Suspected or confirmed COVID-19 | 1 |
TIA = transient ischemic attack; AMI = acute myocardial infarction.
Phases of COVID-19 infection and treatment.
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Flu-like respiratory infection | Avoid contagion, reduce symptoms, reduce viral load with medications in use |
| Phase 2 (see
| High risk of thrombosis | Prophylaxis, avoid intra pulmonary thrombosis, prophylactic anticoagulation |
| Phase 3 | Critical patient in ICU | Full therapeutic anticoagulation |
ICU = intensive care unit.

Como ficaria o escore CHA2DS2-VASc com o acréscimo de 1 ponto por COVID-19 (CHA2DS2-VASc-C19).

| A | Idade (65-74 anos) | 1 |
|
| Suspeita ou confirmação de COVID-19 | 1 |
AIT = ataque isquêmico transitório; AVC = acidente vascular cerebral; IAM = infarto agudo do miocárdio.
Fases da infecção por COVID-19 e tratamento.
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|
| Fase 1 | Infecção respiratória gripal | Evitar contágio, diminuir sintomas, diminuir carga viral com as medicações que estão sendo usadas |
| Fase 2
(verificar | Alto risco de trombose | Profilaxia, evitar trombose intrapulmonar, anticoagulação profilática |
| Fase 3 | Paciente grave em UTI | Anticoagulação plena terapêutica |
UTI = unidade de tratamento intensivo.
