COVID-19 anticoagulation: How guidelines evolved amidst uncertainty

12 Aug 2026 by

Therapeutic-dose anticoagulation has contributed to a decrease in the likelihood of organ support or death among noncritically ill hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Such experience shows how quick and rigorous approaches, when aligned, can promptly translate evidence into practice, suggests a study.
