<![CDATA[Background: It is possible that specific laboratory test results could indicate the likelihood of death from COVID-19. Objective: The main goal of this research was to figure out if measuring D-dimer levels could help forecast the likelihood of death for individuals suffering from COVID-19. Methods: A backward-looking study of a group of people based on observations, encompassing 317 individuals, was conducted utilizing existing data extracted from the health documents of COVID-19 inpatients. The concentration of D-dimer was acquired via patient's blood test results upon initial admittance to the medical facility. Following this, patients were divided into two categories: those who lived (comprising 252 individuals) and those who did not (consisting of 66 individuals), according to the end result. Proportions and central values were assessed employing Kolmogorov-Smirnov. Logistic regression was applied to ascertain if there exists a noteworthy disparity in D-dimer concentrations among different mortality statuses. Results: The cohort that did not survive showed a notably elevated presence of D-dimer (Odds Ratio 6.480 ;p<0.001). Conclusion: The starting assessment of D-dimer levels might be useful in spotting individuals who face increased vulnerability and help guide choices concerning critical care management.]]>
