Hypercoagulation is central to the pathogenesis of acute and post-acute COVID-19. This prospective observational study explored whether rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), a method that unveils coagulation status, predicts outcomes of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. We investigated 62 patients using ROTEM that was conducted at enrollment, clinical deterioration, discharge and follow-up visits 1 and 3 months post-discharge.

Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) can be regarded as a key factor determining the severity of multisystem inflammatory syndrome associated with COVID-19 in children (MIS-C), and often requires treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) to avoid life-threatening complications. No reputable specific criteria for the diagnosis of MAS in MIS-C patients have yet been identified, and criteria currently used for the diagnosis of hemophagocytic syndromes, such as HLH-2004, MAS-2005, and MAS-2016, are not sufficient for MAS in MIS-C. Our goal in this study was to work out the criteria for the early diagnosis of MAS in MIS-C.

The COVID-19 virus not only has significant pathogenicity but also influences the progression of many diseases, altering patient prognosis. Cardiovascular diseases, particularly aortic aneurysms, are among the most life-threatening conditions. COVID-19 infection is reported to accelerate the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and increase the risk of rupture; however, a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms remains elusive.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been a global pandemic affecting millions of people's lives, which has led to 'post-COVID-19 fatigue'. Alarmingly, severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) not only infects the lungs but also influences the heart and brain. Endothelial cell dysfunction and hypercoagulation, which we know occur with this infection, lead to thrombo-inflammation that can manifest as many myriad cardio-cerebrovascular disorders, such as brain fog, fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, etc.
