Overview

Cross-sectional study shows D-dimer levels correlate with inpatient mortality in COVID-19 patients, indicating health risks.

Key Points

  • Elevated d-dimer levels are linked to increased mortality risk in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, particularly with age and underlying conditions.
  • The study identified that patients with d-dimer levels ≥ 2.0 µg/mL had higher mortality rates compared to those with lower levels.
  • Clinical data extraction included demographics, lab results, and medical history to examine the relationship between d-dimer and patient outcomes.
  • Findings suggest that while d-dimer is a valuable marker for risk stratification, it is not definitive for predicting mortality in COVID-19 patients.
