studying the detailed coagulation screen and second line coagulation parameters including both thrombophilia screen and other acute phase coagulation factors.
Coagulopathy is one of the most significant prognostic factors in patients with COVID-19 and is associated with increased mortality and admission to critical care. Most commonly observed coagulopathy in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 (COVID-19-associated coagulopathy) is characterized by increased D-dimer and fibrinogen levels. 71% of patients who did not survive hospitalization reported to have developed disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) compared to 0.6% of survivors.
