Hypercoagulability in critically ill patients with COVID 19, an observational prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

COVID 19 is often associated with hypercoagulability and thromboembolic (TE) events. The aim of this study was to assess the characteristics of hypercoagulability and its relationship with new-onset TE events and the composite outcome of need for intubation and/or death in intensive care unit (ICU) patients admitted for COVID.

Design

Prospective observational study.

Setting

Monocentric, intensive care, University Hospital of Clermont Ferrand, France.
