NEW YORK, Aug. 5 -- NYU Langone Health, an academic medical center affiliated with New York University, issued the following news release:
Giving moderately ill, hospitalized patients with COVID-19 a full dose of a blood thinner improved their chances of leaving the hospital without needing mechanical ventilation. But this strategy did not yield the same results for patients with COVID-19 who were critically ill and needed intensive care-level support at the time of enrollment.
