A scoping review	2020-05-27		.txt	text/plain	4640	250	46	DISCUSSION: A number of pressing issues were identified by this review, including defining the true incidence of VTE in COVID patients, developing algorithms to identify those susceptible to develop thrombotic complications and severe disease, determining the role of biomarkers and/or scoring systems to stratify patients' risk, designing adequate and feasible diagnostic protocols for PE, establishing the optimal thromboprophylaxis strategy, and developing uniform diagnostic and reporting criteria. Given the rapid emergence of new evidence we sought to conduct a scoping review of coagulopathy and thrombosis risk associated with COVID-19 infection with the aim of providing an overview of the current knowledge on this topic and potentially inform new areas of research. Limitations of evidence include: 1) all studies were limited to a single ethnic population, and extrapolation of this data to other populations might not be accurate, and 2) except for the study by Tang With regards to association with mortality, Zhou and colleagues reported a significantly higher prothrombin time (>16 seconds) in non-survivors (n=54) compared to survivors (n=137) (13% vs.	./cache/cord-331481-zeaqi1uc.txt	./txt/cord-331481-zeaqi1uc.txt
