TPE seems to be a treatment that may improve outcomes by effectively removing fibrin degradation products and restoring coagulation status: fact or fiction?	2020-10-06		.txt	text/plain	1077	70	55	Honore * , Leonel Barreto Gutierrez, Luc Kugener, Sebastien Redant, Rachid Attou, Andrea Gallerani and David De Bels Gucyetmez et al., noting that elevated D-dimer levels have been found as a predictor for mortality in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, concluded that therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) seems to be a treatment that may improve outcomes by effectively removing fibrin degradation products (FDPs) and restoring coagulation status [1] . Firstly, we should emphasize three important points about our study: (1) we investigated the effect of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) on overall mortality, not mortality predictors, (2) we emphasized that "major thromboembolic events" were not detected, not only thromboembolic events, and (3) we did not mention the cause of deaths because all of them were multi-organ failure (MOF) caused by COVID-19 [1] .
