Hemostatic Profile of Post COVID-19/Long COVID-19 Patients

Hemostatic Profile of Post COVID-19/Long COVID-19 Patients

The present study aims at assessing long-term hemostatic profile of patients recovered from COVID-19 acute infection that remain asymptomatic (POST-COVID) versus patients with residual symptoms (LONG-COVID) through the employment of a commercially available new generation point-of-care viscoelastic device. The primary endpoint is based upon the hypothesis that patients with residual symptoms maintain an abnormal coagulation profile even after recovery from COVID-19.

Inclusion Criteria:

• age > 18 years;
• recovery from acute COVID-19 infection;
• COVID-19 pneumonia that required hospitalization in our Institution;
• discharge from the hospital minimum 3 months before the day of the visit;
• written consent to participate to the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

• none.
