Levels of VEGF-D, TNF-α, SCF, LIF, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-15, IL-17A, IL-18, IL-1β, and IFN-γ were significantly higher in the critical group than in the severe group (Table 1) . Strikingly, VEGF-D was identified as the most important indicator related to the severity of COVID-19 (ranked as 1, Fig. 1a ). As shown in Fig. 1e , critical patients had higher levels of VEGF-D than the severe cases during the whole course of hospitalization. We hypothesized that elevated VEGF-D level might potentially relate to the storm of blood clots occurring in COVID-19 patients. D-dimer levels on admission to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with Covid-19 All data generated or analyzed during this study are included in this published article.	./cache/cord-307592-hyeshh63.txt	./txt/cord-307592-hyeshh63.txt
