Abstract in brief
This study analyzed the relationship between D-dimer levels and COVID-19 severity and mortality, finding that higher D-dimer levels upon hospital admission are strongly associated with increased risk of death.
A D-dimer level of 20 mg/L was identified as a key cutoff point, with levels above this significantly increasing the odds of mortality, as shown by statistical analysis.
The research suggests that D-dimer can be used as a biomarker to predict disease severity and patient outcomes, with levels correlating to both clinical and radiological severity of COVID-19.
@GoodierSg @judysimpson222 @SteDaniels84 @TheFreds If that's true (evidence?) then that's very bad news for Covid sufferers.
High levels of D-Dimer are associated with Covid severity. By contrast, Long Covid usually displays obvious organ damage.

I was just thinking today about the d-dimer and if it could be used in a predictive model. Looks like this was a retrospective design, would love to see replication. @ptreviewer @Dr_Ridge_DPT @bartlop https://t.co/yoa45Vxkuv

@zeynep For instance, this July 2020 paper found D-dimer (a standard lab test for abnormal clotting) was a very strong biomarker for COVID-19 disease severity.

If you're worried about blood clots from the covid vaccine, let me be the first to tell you that a nearly universal sign of severe covid is increased risk or presence of blood clots.

D-dimer is commonly elevated in patients with COVID-19. D-dimer levels correlate with disease severity and are a reliable prognostic marker for in-hospital mortality in patients admitted for COVID-19.
