TLDR
Adjunctive strategies focused at the impairment of coagulation, including anticoagulants and restoration of physiological antICOagulant mechanisms, may supposedly be indicated and have been found advantageous in experimental and initial clinical trials.

Anticoagulant treatment is associated with decreased mortality in severe coronavirus disease 2019 patients with coagulopathy.

TL;DR: A relatively high mortality of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is worrying, and the application of heparin in CO VID‐19 has been recommended by some expert consensus because of the risk of disseminated intravascular coagulation and venous thromboembolism, but its efficacy remains to be validated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The immunopathology of sepsis and potential therapeutic targets

TL;DR: Pivotal for the clinical development of new sepsis therapies is the selection of patients on the basis of biomarkers and/or functional defects that provide specific insights into the expression or activity of the therapeutic target.
Journal ArticleDOI

D-dimer levels on admission to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with Covid-19.

TL;DR: Early and effective predictors of clinical outcomes are urgently needed to improve management of Covid‐19 patients, and a global spreading trend is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immune mechanisms of pulmonary intravascular coagulopathy in COVID-19 pneumonia

TL;DR: The immune mechanism underlying diffuse alveolar and pulmonary interstitial inflammation in COVID-19 involves a MAS-like state that triggers extensive immunothrombosis, which might unmask subclinical cardiovascular disease and is distinct from the MAS and disseminated intravascular coagulation that is more familiar to rheumatologists.

Epidemiology of severe sepsis in the United States: analysis of incidence, outcome, and associated costs of care.

TL;DR: Severe sepsis is a common, expensive, and frequently fatal condition, with as many deaths annually as those from acute myocardial infarction, and is especially common in the elderly and is likely to increase substantially as the U.S. population ages.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Epidemiology of Sepsis in the United States from 1979 through 2000

TL;DR: The rate of sepsis due to fungal organisms increased by 207 percent, with gram-positive bacteria becoming the predominant pathogens after 1987, and the total in-hospital mortality rate fell, yet the total number of deaths continued to increase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy and safety of recombinant human activated protein C for severe sepsis.

TL;DR: This phase 3 trial assessed whether treatment with drotrecogin alfa activated reduced the rate of death from any cause among patients with severe sepsis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thrombin signalling and protease-activated receptors

TL;DR: Roles for PARs are beginning to emerge in haemostasis and thrombosis, inflammation, and perhaps even blood vessel development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation

TL;DR: Bleeding may be the presenting symptom in a patient with disseminated intravascular coagulation, a factor that can complicate decisions about treatment, and the use and subsequent depletion of platelets and coagulating proteins resulting from the ongoing coagulations may induce severe bleeding.
