The diagnosis of pulmonary embolism is difficult due to the lack of reliable alternative D-dimer thresholds for pregnant patients. On the other hand, D-dimer elevation continues to be a sign of poor prognosis in patients with COVID-19. The situation remains uncertain in patients who are pregnant and have COVID-19. Maybe D-dimer value should be removed from being a poor prognosis criterion in pregnant women.
