Early prophylactic anticoagulation with heparin alleviates mortality in critically ill patients with sepsis: a retrospective analysis from the MIMIC-IV database

Minimal data exist on anticoagulation use and timing and the dose of heparin in patients with sepsis, and whether heparin use improves sepsis survival remains largely unclear. This study was performed to assess whether heparin administration would provide a survival advantage in critically ill patients with sepsis.
