D-dimer measurements act as a global indicator of coagulation and activation of fibrinolytic systems. An optimal cut-off value for D-dimer and its effect on prognosis has not yet been assessed to predict mortality in admission. Therefore, studies comparing D-dimer values of COVID-19 patients and healthy pregnant women are needed. Our study gives us the opportunity to make this comparison.
Other: Blood D-dimer assay
Blood samples will be taken from the patients and will be examined by the ELISA method.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Pregnant women with COVID-19
Exclusion Criteria:
- Having a chronic disease that raises D-dimer levels
