Platelet counts are increased in these patients in the initial stages (uncommonly reported in patients with infectious diseases) and are almost never severely low, even in critically ill COVID-19 patients [18] . In severely ill patients, the pulmonary coagulation system becomes markedly activated. These include: should all patients hospitalised with severe COVID-19 be treated empirically with therapeutic anticoagulation until venous thromboembolism is discounted? High incidence of venous thromboembolic events in anticoagulated severe COVID-19 patients Anticoagulant treatment is associated with decreased mortality in severe coronavirus disease 2019 patients with coagulopathy Incidence of thrombotic complications in critically ill ICU patients with COVID-19 COVID-19-related severe hypercoagulability in patients admitted to intensive care unit for acute respiratory failure. ./cache/cord-302756-343y63e5.txt ./txt/cord-302756-343y63e5.txt
