The values of coagulation function in COVID-19 patients

Category: Article Summary

Topic: Clinical Characteristics and Health Care Setting

• Jin et al retrospectively investigate blood coagulation function in 147 COVID-19 patients, and the correlation between coagulopathy and disease severity in Wuhan Hospital. Patients with thrombotic disease had a higher case-fatality and were also associated with disease severity. T-PA/PAI-1 Complex and D-Dimer were independent risk factors and predictors for death in patients. The coagulation systems in COVID-19 patients are inordinate, and dynamic monitoring of them, might be a key in the control of COVID-19 death.
