Abstract
= .006) were seen. Our findings based on analysis of different disease severity groups confirmed that a hypercoagulable ROTEM pattern characterized by clot formation acceleration, high clot strength, and reduced fibrinolysis was more frequent in advanced disease groups and patients with high IL6. These results supported the need for different thromboprophylaxis approaches for different severity groups.
