Abstract
Welcome to another issue of Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis (STH), published under the "banner" of "Maintaining hemostasis and preventing thrombosis in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)," this being Part IV, or the fourth such volume. The first three issues were, respectively, published in 2020,[1] 2021,[2] and 2022,[3] and proved very popular with the STH readership. COVID-19 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Believed to originate from Wuhan City in China, with the first reported case in November 2019, at the time of writing, there were over 630 million cases reported worldwide and over 6.5 million attributable deaths, thus including it among the 10 most deadly pandemics throughout recent human history.[4]
