Article Synopsis
- This study examines heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT-II), a serious complication in hospitalized patients receiving heparin, particularly after surgery or for deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
- The research involved 754 patients and found a HIT-II incidence rate of 4.50%, with higher occurrences in older adults and females, along with increased thrombosis rates and elevated levels of various inflammatory markers.
- The study concludes that platelet activation in HIT-II patients contributes to more thrombosis formation, longer hospital stays, and higher mortality rates compared to non-HIT patients.
Background: Due to the critical condition of COVID-19, it is necessary to evaluate the efficacy of administrating convalescent plasma to COVID-19 patients. Therefore, we decided to design a clinical trial to investigate the effect of convalescent plasma of patients recovered from COVID-19 on the treatment outcome of COVID-19-infected patients.
Materials And Methods: In this parallel randomized controlled clinical trial, patients in the intervention group received standard treatment plus convalescent plasma of patients recovered from COVID-19.
