Title: Analysis of the diagnostic value of coagulation markers and coagulation function indices on the occurrence of DIC in sepsis and its prognosis. Author: Fang X, Fu W, Xu L, Qiu Y. Journal: Allergol Immunopathol (Madr); 2024; 52(5):65-72. PubMed ID: 39278853. Abstract: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that has the potential to multiple organ dysfunction and mortality. One of its frequent complications is disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), characterized by hyperactive clotting mechanisms that cause widespread clot formation and tissue damage. This study aimed to investigate early diagnostic markers of sepsis-associated DIC by comparing inflammatory factor levels, 28-day survival rates, coagulation function, and markers between patients with sepsis (non-DIC group) and those with sepsis-induced DIC (DIC group). The study analyzed the diagnostic efficacy of coagulation function and markers in predicting the occurrence and prognosis of sepsis-associated DIC, presenting survival curves. Results indicated significantly increased levels of APTT, TAT, tPAIC, PIC, and sTM in the DIC group compared to the non-DIC group. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores on days 1, 3, and 7 were notably lower in the non-DIC group. Correlation analysis revealed positive associations between PT, APTT, TAT, tPAIC, PIC, sTM levels, and SOFA scores, as well as negative associations with Fib and SOFA scores. Survival curves showed substantially lower mortality rates in the non-DIC group, highlighting significant survival disparities between groups. Combining all four coagulation indicators (TAT+ tPAIC + PIC + sTM) showed promising diagnostic value in evaluating disease severity, early DIC diagnosis, and sepsis prognosis.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
