Efficacy of therapeutic-dose heparin for severe COVID-19 patients at COVID-19 Emergency Hospital Jakarta.

Introduction: Arterial and venous thrombotic events in COVID-19 cause significant morbidity and mortality. For optimal thromboprophylaxis treatment for hospitalized patients, especially those with severe COVID-19 symptoms, it is still unclear whether to use full- or therapeutic-dose versus prophylactic-dose anticoagulation therapy. The study aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of unfractionated heparin (UFH) for thromboprophylaxis in severe degree of COVID-19.
