    Should we screen Eastern Mediterranean COVID-19 patients for inherited thrombophilia?

Such strategies are difficult to be standardized because certain individuals can have pro-thrombotic conditions, such as inherited thrombophilia, which pre-dispose them to an additional coagulative risk. Whether outside the hospital or when admitted, patients with inherited thrombophilia need special anticoagulant and antiplatelet attention. Identifying such patients, especially in susceptible populations like the eastern Mediterranean (EM) region, will aid primary providers in risk stratification for choosing the optimal anticoagulation or antiplatelet plan.
