D-dimer, an important pathophysiological factor of deadly diseases including SARS

Abstract

Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious viral disease with high grade of infectivity, caused by SARS (COV-2). COVID 19
infection was the first reported in Wuhan China. D-dimer is an important predictive tool often recommended for patients with
severe Corona virus (COVID19) infection. In this systematic review, we aim to investigate the significance of D-dimer prediction
in patients with COVID -19. We used research materials from PubMed, Medline, Embase to learn about D-dimer levels in
COVID-19 patients and their effect on mortality.
