Blood clot marker may reveal pneumonia danger

NCT ID NCT07199530

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is looking at whether a blood test called D-dimer can help doctors understand how serious pneumonia is and how well patients might recover. Researchers will measure D-dimer levels in 50 adults admitted to the hospital with community-acquired pneumonia and compare them to standard severity scores. The goal is to see if higher D-dimer levels are linked to worse inflammation and survival.
