Proposal of Quick Diagnostic Criteria for Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation.

ABSTRACT: The diagnostic criteria for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) vary and are complicated and the cut-off values are different. Simple and quick diagnostic criteria for DIC are required in physicians for critical care. Platelet counts, prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR) and D-dimer levels were examined in 1293 critical ill patients. Adequate cut-off values of these parameters were determined and a quick DIC score using these biomarkers was proposed. The quick DIC score was evaluated using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Using the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare diagnostic criteria, 70 and 109 patients were diagnosed with DIC and pre-DIC, respectively. The ROC analysis of factors difference between DIC and non-DIC, revealed th
