Abstract
T
his study aimed to investigate the association between COVID-19 infection and Mesenteric Vascular Occlusion (MVO) in 50 patients.
Patients were categorized using a rapid test into three groups; group I: COVID-negative, group II: previous COVID infection, and group III: COVID positive.
The study proved that 24% of MVO cases were COVID-negative, 28% had a previous COVID infection, and 48% were COVID positive. There was a significant association between COVID infection and MVO (P<0.001).
There was no significant difference between the three groups of COVID in terms of demographic factors or associated comorbidity.
However, a significantly higher proportion of patients in group III required surgical intervention and had a higher mortality rate compared to the other groups (P<0.05).
