A Novel Description of Antithrombin Deficiency in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients

Objective

Antithrombin (AT) helps reduce inflammation and blood clotting. We wanted to find out how common AT deficiency is in COVID-19 patients and if adding AT could help with blood clotting issues in these patients.

Patients and Methods

This study involved a randomized control trial. Patients with low AT levels (<100%) were divided into two groups: one received standard care, and the other received standard care plus AT every 48 hours. We also had a reference group with normal AT levels (>100%).

Results

A total of 531 patients were evaluated, but only 50 completed the study. Most patients (76%) had AT levels below 100%. The changes in blood clotting scores and hospital stays were similar across all groups. Mortality rates were also comparable. There was one bleeding incident in a patient with normal AT levels, but none in those receiving AT treatment. No adverse effects from AT were reported.

Conclusions

COVID-19 is linked to AT deficiency in some patients. Adding AT did not lead to bleeding issues or significant differences in hospital stay or mortality rates. Further research is needed to explore higher doses of AT in higher-risk patients.
