Global Hemostasis Potential in COVID-19 Positive Patients Performed on St-Genesia Show Hypercoagulable State.

ABSTRACT:

Background

At the dawn of the pandemic, severe forms of COVID-19 were often complicated by thromboembolisms. However, routine laboratory tests cannot be used to predict thromboembolic events. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential value of the thrombin generation test (TGT) in predicting hypercoagulability and thrombotic risk in the aforementioned set of patients.

Methods

The study panel comprised 52 patients divided into two groups (26 COVID-19 positive and 26 COVID-19 negative); COVID-19-positive patients were further grouped in "severe" (n = 11) and "non-severe" (n = 15) categories based on clinical criteria. The routine blood tests and TGT of these patients were retrospectively analyzed.

Results

All 26 COVID-19-positive patients
