Abstract
Background: Several studies have evaluated the possible association between whole blood viscoelastic testing (VET) parameters in patients hospitalized for acute Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia and mortality. A few studies found no significant differences between survivors and non-survivors, though other studies identified potential predictors of COVID-19-related mortality. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature to evaluate the possible association between standard thromboelastometry/graphy parameters and mortality in patients hospitalized for acute COVID-19 pneumonia. Methods: Relevant studies were searched through MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Google Scholar from their inception until 15th June 2023. We aimed to identify any study including: i) adults admitted to intensive care units (ICU) or medicine wards (MW) for acute COVID-19 pneumonia; ii) viscoelastic testing; iii) mortality.
