COVID-19 wreaked havoc on the healthcare system, with more than 36 million cases reported globally. Although the pediatric population makes up a lesser proportion of total COVID-19 patients than adults, the clinical status, age and comorbidities warrant identifying possible prognostic factors associated with disease severity in this group. The current study aimed to explore the incidence of thrombosis, overall outcome, and different hematological and coagulation markers in children with COVID-19.
