Lastly, ROTEM parameters were also measured in COVID-19 patients with varying severities of pneumonia; a hypercoagulable ROTEM pattern due to shortened EXCT, higher than normal EXMCF and FIBMCF and shortened EXCFT, high clot strength and hypofibrinolysis in advanced disease and patients with high levels of IL-6 were observed [20]. The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is susceptibility to pneumonia measurement.
