Immature Platelet fraction and covid-19: Maturing prognostic links!

Abstract

Prompted by the combination of an ever-evolving comprehension of the platelet activation as a pivotal perpetuator of an ongoing systemic inflammatory process and an encouraging literature on the prognostic role of immature platelet fraction (IPF) in septic and prothrombotic settings, we present an elaborated account of the possible prognostic links between IPF and Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
