The early identification of high-risk patients based on D-dimer values could prevent progression to ARDS, DIC, cytokine storm and their associated increase in mortality, if anticoagulation is initiated [31, 33, 38, 55] . In a study of 449 patients with severe COVID-19, anticoagulant therapy with mainly low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) was associated with lower mortality in a sub-population meeting sepsis-induced coagulopathy criteria or with markedly elevated D-dimer [14, 55] . Risk factors associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome and death in patients with coronavirus disease Risk factors associated with disease progression in a cohort of patients infected with the 2019 novel coronavirus.	./cache/cord-104473-bx3svdrk.txt	./txt/cord-104473-bx3svdrk.txt
