Benjamin Marchandot et al. J Clin Med. .

Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted healthcare communities across the globe on an unprecedented scale. Patients have had diverse clinical outcomes, but those developing COVID-19-related coagulopathy have shown a disproportionately worse outcome. This narrative review summarizes current evidence regarding the epidemiology, clinical features, known and presumed pathophysiology-based models, and treatment guidance regarding COVID-19 coagulopathy.

Keywords: COVID-19; antiphospholipid antibodies; coronavirus disease 2019; endothelium; hemostasis; microparticles; thrombosis.
