Coagulation dysfunction has emerged as a significant aspect of COVID-19 pathophysiology, with abnormal coagulation parameters observed in severe cases. This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of coagulation parameters, including prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (PTT), and international normalized ratio (INR) for mortality in patients with COVID-19. A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of patients diagnosed with COVID-19.
