PLoS One 2024; 19:e0295050. [PMID: 38452037 PMCID: PMC10919643 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0295050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Even though patients with sepsis and DIC have a higher mortality rate compared to those without DIC, screening for DIC is not currently part of sepsis management protocols. This may be due to a lack of literature on the frequency of DIC occurrence in sepsis patients, as well as the absence of evidence on the optimal DIC criteria to use for identifying DIC and predicting mortality among the five criteria available. To address this gap, this study investigates the predictive value of five different criteria for diagnosing DIC and its relationship to patient outcomes in our population of sepsis patients. METHODS In the Medicine department of Aga Khan University Hospital, a retrospective observational study was conducted, enrolling all adult patients with International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) coding of sepsis and clinical suspicion of DIC between January 2018 and December 2020. To diagnose DIC, five different criteria were utilized, namely the International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH), the Korean Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (KSTH), the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine (JAAM), the revised-JAAM (RJAAM), and the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare (JMHW). The study analyzed the sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value, and accuracy of these five criteria, as well as the overall prediction of mortality. RESULTS Of 222 septic patients included in this study with clinical suspicion of DIC, 94.6% of patient had DIC according to KSTH criteria, followed by JAAM (69.4%), ISTH (64.0%), JMHW (53.2%) and lastly R-JAAM (48.6%). KSTH had sensitivity of 95.4% in diagnosing DIC and predicting mortality with a positive predictive value of 70% but specificity of 7.3% only. JAAM had sensitivity of 75.9%, positive predictive value of 75.9% with a specificity of 45.5%. ISTH had sensitivity of 69.4%, positive predictive value 75.3% and specificity of 48.5%. CONCLUSION DIC can impose a significant burden on septic patients and its presence can lead to higher mortality rates. Early detection through screening for DIC in septic patients can potentially reduce mortality. However, it is necessary to identify the most appropriate diagnostic criteria for each population, as various criteria have demonstrated different performance in different populations. Establishing a gold standard for each population can aid in accurate diagnosis of DIC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recently, clot-fibrinolysis waveform analysis (CFWA), which is a coagulation and fibrinolysis global assay based on assessing the activated partial thromboplastin time with tissue-type plasminogen activator, was developed. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of CFWA using plasma samples from patients in the critical care unit. MATERIALS AND METHODS The fibrinolysis times using CFWA were measured in 298 plasma samples. These samples were divided into three groups based on the reference interval (RI) of fibrinolysis time using CFWA: shortened group, less than RI; within group, within RI; prolonged group, more than RI. The coagulation and fibrinolysis markers, including D-dimer, plasmin-α2 plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC), fibrin monomer complex (FMC), plasmin-α2 plasmin inhibitor (α2-PI), plasminogen (Plg), and fibrinogen (Fbg) were analyzed and compared among the three groups. RESULTS The FMC level decreased in the order of shortened, within, and prolonged groups, and the decrease was statistically significant among all three group pairs. The opposite tendency was observed for Fbg and fibrinolysis-related markers of α2-PI and Plg, and significant differences were recognized in all pair comparisons except for between within and prolonged groups in Plg. The mean values of the fibrinolysis markers D-dimer and PIC in all three groups were higher than the cut-off values, and the PIC value differed significantly between the within and prolonged groups. CONCLUSION The fibrinolysis reaction was detected in all three groups, but the status differed. CFWA has the potential to reflect the fibrinolysis status in one global assay.

Abstract
Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD) is the leading cause of death in patients with sepsis in the intensive care units. The main manifestations of SIMD are systolic and diastolic dysfunctions of the myocardium. Despite our initial understanding of the SIMD over the past three decades, the incidence and mortality of SIMD remain high. This may be attributed to the large degree of heterogeneity among the initiating factors, disease processes, and host states involved in SIMD. Previously, organ dysfunction caused by sepsis was thought to be an impairment brought about by an excessive inflammatory response. However, many recent studies have shown that SIMD is a consequence of a combination of factors shaped by the inflammatory responses between the pathogen and the host. In this article, we review the mechanisms of the inflammatory responses and potential novel therapeutic strategies in SIMD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in patients with sepsis has been repeatedly confirmed as a factor associated with poor prognosis. Anticoagulant therapy has been expected to improve sepsis patient outcomes, whereas no randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the survival benefit of anticoagulant therapies in non-specific overall sepsis. Patient selection based on the component of "high disease severity" in addition to "sepsis with DIC" has recently proved important in identifying appropriate targets for anticoagulant therapy. The aims of this study were to characterize "severe" sepsis DIC patients and to identify the patient population benefiting from anticoagulant therapy. METHODS This retrospective sub-analysis of a prospective multicenter study included 1,178 adult patients with severe sepsis from 59 intensive care units in Japan from January 2016 to March 2017. We examined the association of patient outcomes, including organ dysfunction and in-hospital mortality, with the DIC score and prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR), one of the components of the DIC score, using multivariable regression models including the cross-product term between these indicators. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis with non-linear restricted cubic spline including a three-way interaction term (anticoagulant therapy × the DIC score × PT-INR) was also performed. Anticoagulant therapy was defined as the administration of antithrombin, recombinant human thrombomodulin, or their combination. RESULTS In total, we analyzed 1013 patients. The regression model showed that organ dysfunction and in-hospital mortality deteriorated with higher PT-INR values in the range of < 1.5 and that this trend was more pronounced with higher DIC scores. Three-way interaction analysis demonstrated that anticoagulant therapy was associated with better survival outcome in patients with a high DIC score and high PT-INR. Furthermore, we identified a DIC score ≥ 5 and PT-INR ≥ 1.5 as the clinical threshold for identification of optimal targets for anticoagulant therapy. CONCLUSIONS The combined use of the DIC score and PT-INR helps in selecting the optimal patient population for anticoagulant therapy in sepsis-induced DIC. The results obtained from this study will provide valuable information regarding the study design of randomized controlled trials examining the effects of anticoagulant therapy for sepsis.

Abstract
The International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) diagnostic criteria for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) are widely used for DIC diagnosis. However, the prognostic value of the score may vary between different patient populations and settings. This systematic review investigated the association between the ISTH DIC score and mortality in sepsis patients. A literature search was conducted in PubMed and Embase. Inclusion criteria were studies including adult and pediatric patients hospitalized with sepsis, using any sepsis definition, and investigating the association between mortality and the ISTH DIC score. The review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. In total, 42 studies were included. A positive association between the ISTH DIC score and mortality was consistently reported, with odds ratios of death in DIC versus non-DIC patients ranging from 1.125 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.838-1.511) to 21.008 (95% CI: 1.408-313.405) in adults and from 1.378 (95% CI: 1.004-1.893) to 2.99 (95% CI: 0.54-16.6) in pediatric populations. However, the DIC score only had a low-moderate positive predictive value for mortality, as area under receiver-operator characteristics ranged from 0.602 (95% CI: 0.575-0.630) to 0.815 (95% CI: 0.676-0.954) in adults. Of note, only few studies adjusted for potential confounders such as age, gender, and comorbidity. The ISTH DIC score is consistently associated with sepsis-related mortality but is not a strong positive predictor for mortality. Nevertheless, the score may still have a prognostic value and its use in sepsis is encouraged.

Abstract
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) has been understood as a consumptive coagulopathy. However, impaired hemostasis is a component of DIC that occurs in a progressive manner. The critical concept of DIC is systemic activation of coagulation with vascular endothelial damage. DIC is the dynamic coagulation/fibrinolysis disorder that can proceed from compensated to decompensated phases, and is not simply impaired hemostasis, a misunderstanding that continues to evoke confusion among clinicians. DIC is a critical step of disease progression that is important to monitor over time. Impaired microcirculation and subsequent organ failure due to pathologic microthrombi formation are the pathophysiologies in sepsis-associated DIC. Impaired hemostasis due to coagulation factor depletion from hemodilution, shock, and hyperfibrinolysis occurs in trauma-associated DIC. Overt-DIC diagnostic criteria have been used clinically for more than 20 years but may not be adequate to detect the compensated phase of DIC, and due to different underlying causes, there is no "one-size-fits-all criteria." Individualized criteria for heterogeneous conditions continue to be proposed to facilitate the diagnosis. We believe that future research will provide therapeutics using new diagnostic criteria. Finally, DIC is also classified as either acute or chronic, and acute DIC results from progressive coagulation activation over a short time and requires urgent management. In this review, we examine the advances in research for DIC.

Abstract
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is one of the major organ dysfunctions associated with sepsis. This retrospective secondary analysis comprised data from a prospective multicenter study to investigate the age-related differences in the survival benefit of anticoagulant therapy in sepsis according to the DIC diagnostic criteria. Adult patients with severe sepsis based on the Sepsis-2 criteria were enrolled and divided into the following groups: (1) anticoagulant group (patients who received anticoagulant therapy) and (2) non-anticoagulant group (patients who did not receive anticoagulant therapy). Patients in the former group were administered antithrombin, recombinant human thrombomodulin, or their combination. The increases in the risk of hospital mortality were suppressed in the high-DIC-score patients aged 60-70 years receiving anticoagulant therapy. No favorable association of anti-coagulant therapy with hospital mortality was observed in patients aged 50 years and 80 years. Furthermore, anticoagulant therapy in the lower-DIC-score range increased the risk of hospital mortality in patients aged 50-60 years. In conclusion, anticoagulant therapy was associated with decreased hospital mortality according to a higher DIC score in septic patients aged 60-70 years. Anticoagulant therapy, however, was not associated with a better outcome in relatively younger and older patients with sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Coagulopathy is a common and serious problem in subjects received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and this study evaluated whether the 2018 diffuse intravascular coagulation (DIC) score established by the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) is associated with 90-day mortality in adult ECMO subjects. METHODS A retrospective study analyzed data from adult subjects receiving ECMO in our hospital from September 2018 to April 2021. Pre-ECMO DIC score and other variables were assessed and compared to predict 90-day mortality. RESULTS Among 103 eligible subjects, 55.3% received V-V ECMO and 44.7% received V-A ECMO. The overall 90-day mortality for study subjects was 54.4%, including 45.6% in the V-V group and 65.2% in the V-A group. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for sex, sepsis, and APACHE II score, pre-ECMO DIC scores in the total and V-V group predicted 90-day mortality (odds ratio(OR): 1.419, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.101-1.828; OR: 2.562; 95% CI: 1.452-4.520 ). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves displayed that pre-ECMO DIC score of 4 in the total and V-V group was a good predictor of 90-day mortality (area under the curve (AUC)=0.706, 95% CI:0.606-0.806; AUC=0.737, 95% CI:0.604-0.870). Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrated the 90-day mortality of subjects with pre-ECMO DIC score ≥ 4 in the total and V-V group was higher than that of subjects with DIC score < 4 (hazard ratio (HR): 2.821; 95% CI: 1.632-4.879; HR: 3.864,95% CI: 1.660-8.992). CONCLUSION The pre-ECMO ISTH DIC score was associated with 90-day mortality in adult subjects undergoing ECMO, particularly in the V-V ECMO group.

Abstract
Patients with sepsis have a wide range of respiratory disorders that can be treated with oxygen therapy. Experimental data in animal sepsis models show that oxygen therapy significantly increases survival, while clinical data on the use of different oxygen therapy protocols are ambiguous. Oxygen therapy, especially hyperbaric oxygenation, in patients with sepsis can aggravate existing oxidative stress and contribute to the development of disseminated intravascular coagulation. The purpose of this article is to compare experimental and clinical data on oxygen therapy in animals and humans, to discuss factors that can influence the results of oxygen therapy for sepsis treatment in humans, and to provide some recommendations for reducing oxidative stress and preventing disseminated intravascular coagulation during oxygen therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a life-threatening complication of septic shock; however, risk factors for its development after admission are unknown. Thromboelastography (TEG) can reflect coagulation disturbances in early non-overt DIC that are not detected by standard coagulation tests. This study investigated the risk factors including TEG findings as early predictors for DIC development after admission in septic shock patients with non-overt DIC. METHODS This retrospective observation study included 295 consecutive septic shock patients with non-overt DIC at admission between January 2016 and December 2019. DIC was defined as an International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) score ≥ 5. The primary outcome was non-overt DIC at admission that met the ISTH DIC criteria within 3 days after admission. RESULTS Of the 295 patients with non-overt DIC, 89 (30.2%) developed DIC after admission. The DIC group showed a higher ISTH score and 28-day mortality rate than the non-DIC group (2 vs. 3, P < 0.001; 13.6% vs. 27.0%, P = 0.008, respectively). The DIC rate increased with the ISTH score (7.7%, 13.3%, 15.8%, 36.5%, and 61.4% for scores of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively). Among TEG values, the maximum amplitude (MA) was higher in the non-DIC group (P < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, an MA < 64 mm was independently associated with DIC development (odds ratio, 2.311; 95% confidence interval, 1.298-4.115). CONCLUSIONS DIC more often developed among those with admission ISTH scores ≥ 3 and was associated with higher mortality rates. An MA < 64 mm was independently associated with DIC development in septic shock patients.

Abstract
It is generally accepted that a coagulation/fibrinolysis disorder is involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis, and the association of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and poor outcomes have been reported. Based on these findings, recently released “Japanese Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines 2020” recommend the diagnosis of DIC and the application of anticoagulants for sepsis-associated DIC. Meanwhile, the updated “International Guidelines for the Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2021” did not mention coagulation abnormalities or DIC. Because management strategies continue to evolve to provide improved outcomes in sepsis, the role of adjunctive anticoagulant treatment should be included in subsequent international guidelines.

Abstract
The Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2020 (J-SSCG 2020), a Japanese-specific set of clinical practice guidelines for sepsis and septic shock created as revised from J-SSCG 2016 jointly by the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine, was first released in September 2020 and published in February 2021. An English-language version of these guidelines was created based on the contents of the original Japanese-language version. The purpose of this guideline is to assist medical staff in making appropriate decisions to improve the prognosis of patients undergoing treatment for sepsis and septic shock. We aimed to provide high-quality guidelines that are easy to use and understand for specialists, general clinicians, and multidisciplinary medical professionals. J-SSCG 2016 took up new subjects that were not present in SSCG 2016 (e.g., ICU-acquired weakness [ICU-AW], post-intensive care syndrome [PICS], and body temperature management). The J-SSCG 2020 covered a total of 22 areas with four additional new areas (patient- and family-centered care, sepsis treatment system, neuro-intensive treatment, and stress ulcers). A total of 118 important clinical issues (clinical questions, CQs) were extracted regardless of the presence or absence of evidence. These CQs also include those that have been given particular focus within Japan. This is a large-scale guideline covering multiple fields; thus, in addition to the 25 committee members, we had the participation and support of a total of 226 members who are professionals (physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, clinical engineers, and pharmacists) and medical workers with a history of sepsis or critical illness. The GRADE method was adopted for making recommendations, and the modified Delphi method was used to determine recommendations by voting from all committee members.As a result, 79 GRADE-based recommendations, 5 Good Practice Statements (GPS), 18 expert consensuses, 27 answers to background questions (BQs), and summaries of definitions and diagnosis of sepsis were created as responses to 118 CQs. We also incorporated visual information for each CQ according to the time course of treatment, and we will also distribute this as an app. The J-SSCG 2020 is expected to be widely used as a useful bedside guideline in the field of sepsis treatment both in Japan and overseas involving multiple disciplines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is under-recognized in critically ill patients. The International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH; DIC) provides a useful scoring system for accurate DIC identification. The study investigated the period prevalence of ISTH DIC from 2015 to 2017 in critically ill patients. METHODS In this multi-center, retrospective observational study, we included all patients identified with a DIC code or medically diagnosed with DIC during all admissions. Based on ISTH DIC scores ≥ 5, patients were classified with overt DIC. RESULTS A total of 220 patients were included in this study. The period prevalence of DIC was 4.45%. The point prevalence of DIC has increased from 3.49% to 5.58% from 2015 to 2017 (27.7% female; median age 61.6 years). Based on the ISTH-Overt DIC criteria, 45.2% of the sample had sepsis. Overt DIC patients had significantly lower baseline hemoglobin (HB; t = 2.137, df = 193, p = 0.034), platelet count (t = 3.591, df = 193, p < 0.001) and elevated serum creatinine level (M = 2.1, SD = 1.5, t = 2.203, df = 193, p = 0.029) compared to non-Overt DIC. There was a statistically significant elevation in FDPs among Overt DIC compared to non-Overt DIC (χ2 = 30.381, df = 1, p < 0.001). Overt DIC patients had significantly prolonged PT (U = 2,298, z = 5.7, p < 0.001), PTT (U = 2,334, z = 2.0, p = 0.045) and INR (U = 2,541, z = 5.1, p < 0.001) compared to those with non-Overt DIC. CONCLUSION The ISTH overt-DIC score can be used in critically ill patients regardless of the underlying disease. Efforts are required to predict and identify overt DIC using a valid scoring system on admission and follow-up of adult patients admitted to ICU.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:651832. [PMID: 34017845 PMCID: PMC8130758 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.651832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Accepted: 04/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: In recent years, the use of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in patients with cardiopulmonary arrest who do not respond to conventional resuscitation, has increased. However, despite the development of VA-ECMO, the outcomes of resuscitated patients remain poor. The poor prognosis may be attributed to deterioration owing to the post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS); this includes the systemic inflammatory response and coagulation activation caused by the extracorporeal circulation (VA-ECMO circuit) itself. This study aimed to evaluate the coagulofibrinolytic changes caused by VA-ECMO and to identify predictive factors of poor prognosis. Methods: We analyzed 151 cases of PCAS with witnessed cardiac arrest. As biomarkers, platelet counts, prothrombin time ratio, fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products, fibrinogen, antithrombin, and lactate were recorded from blood samples from the time of delivery to the third day of hospitalization. The maximum (max) and minimum (min) values of each factor during the study period were calculated. To evaluate the impact of VA-ECMO on patients with PCAS, we performed propensity score matching between the patients who received and did not receive VA-ECMO. Sub-analysis was performed for the group with VA-ECMO. Results: There were significant differences in all baseline characteristics and demographics except the time from detection to hospital arrival, percentage of cardiopulmonary resuscitations (CPR) by witnesses, and the initial rhythm between the groups. Propensity score matching adjusted for prehospital factors demonstrated that the patients who received VA-ECMO developed significantly severe coagulation disorders. In a sub-analysis, significant differences were noted in the prothrombin time ratio min, fibrinogen max, antithrombin max, and lactate min between survivors and non-survivors. In particular, the prothrombin time ratio min and antithrombin max were strongly correlated with poor outcome. Conclusion: In the present study, significant coagulopathy was observed in patients who received VA-ECMO for CPR. In particular, in patients receiving VA-ECMO, the minimum prothrombin time ratio and maximum antithrombin by day 3 of hospitalization were strongly correlated with poor outcomes. These results suggest that VA-ECMO-induced coagulopathy can be a promising therapeutic target for patients resuscitated by VA-ECMO.

Abstract
Sepsis-associated disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is related to marked hemostatic changes such as transient thrombocytopenia secondary to the endogenous activation and consumption of platelets. This study measured markers of platelet function in 103 adult ICU patients with clinically established sepsis-associated DIC to determine the biomarker association with disease severity. Patients were categorized as having no DIC, nonovert DIC, or overt DIC using the International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis scoring system. Plasma levels of CD40L, platelet factor 4 (PF4), platelet-derived microparticles, and microparticle-associated tissue factor were quantified. Markers of platelet activation were significantly elevated in patients with DIC compared to healthy individuals. This increase was independent of platelet count. Levels of PF4 differed based on the severity of DIC and differentiated nonsurvivors and survivors. These findings suggest that the markers of platelet activation in DIC may not be regulated by the number of circulating platelets and may be independent of the factors leading to their consumption.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a feared complication of various systemic illnesses. We aimed to evaluate the laboratory requesting practices of clinicians, especially concerning the laboratory parameters, included in the International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) DIC score. METHODS A retrospective descriptive study was performed and included data from DIC screen requests analysed at Universitas National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) laboratory, Bloemfontein, South Africa, for one calendar year. Laboratory request forms were analysed, recording the pretest diagnosis and whether the diagnosis was associated with DIC. Parameters of the DIC screen, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin time, d-dimer and fibrinogen were used to calculate the ITSH DIC score and diagnose heparin contamination. The platelet count, currently not part of the DIC screen test set, was also recorded. RESULTS A total of 778 DIC screen requests were processed. One hundred and eighty-three requests were excluded due to laboratory-defined rejection criteria, heparin contamination or for lacking an ISTH score parameter. Of the remaining 595 complete requests, 283 (47.7%) were laboratory-defined overt DIC. The pretest diagnosis was not predictive of either a positive or negative finding of overt DIC. The contribution of fibrinogen to assigning overt DIC was questionable. CONCLUSION The number of DIC screen requests received highlights the need for laboratory evidence of DIC. To improve laboratory DIC testing, the authors suggest critical evaluation of the contribution of the pretest diagnosis and fibrinogen in a prospective study and adding the platelet count in our local DIC test set.

Abstract
The Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2020 (J-SSCG 2020), a Japanese-specific set of clinical practice guidelines for sepsis and septic shock created as revised from J-SSCG 2016 jointly by the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine, was first released in September 2020 and published in February 2021. An English-language version of these guidelines was created based on the contents of the original Japanese-language version. The purpose of this guideline is to assist medical staff in making appropriate decisions to improve the prognosis of patients undergoing treatment for sepsis and septic shock. We aimed to provide high-quality guidelines that are easy to use and understand for specialists, general clinicians, and multidisciplinary medical professionals. J-SSCG 2016 took up new subjects that were not present in SSCG 2016 (e.g., ICU-acquired weakness [ICU-AW], post-intensive care syndrome [PICS], and body temperature management). The J-SSCG 2020 covered a total of 22 areas with four additional new areas (patient- and family-centered care, sepsis treatment system, neuro-intensive treatment, and stress ulcers). A total of 118 important clinical issues (clinical questions, CQs) were extracted regardless of the presence or absence of evidence. These CQs also include those that have been given particular focus within Japan. This is a large-scale guideline covering multiple fields; thus, in addition to the 25 committee members, we had the participation and support of a total of 226 members who are professionals (physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, clinical engineers, and pharmacists) and medical workers with a history of sepsis or critical illness. The GRADE method was adopted for making recommendations, and the modified Delphi method was used to determine recommendations by voting from all committee members. As a result, 79 GRADE-based recommendations, 5 Good Practice Statements (GPS), 18 expert consensuses, 27 answers to background questions (BQs), and summaries of definitions and diagnosis of sepsis were created as responses to 118 CQs. We also incorporated visual information for each CQ according to the time course of treatment, and we will also distribute this as an app. The J-SSCG 2020 is expected to be widely used as a useful bedside guideline in the field of sepsis treatment both in Japan and overseas involving multiple disciplines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A limitation of diagnostic scoring systems for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is that once DIC is identified, it may be in a state of irreversible deterioration. OBJECTIVES To identify hemostatic markers that can identify the pre-DIC state. METHODS This was a multi-center observational study of 357 septic patients. The incidence of DIC was determined using the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) DIC Score. Markers of interest include components of the DIC score: protein C (PC), antithrombin (AT), and citrullinated histones (H3Cit), which is a marker of NETosis. RESULTS Out of 357 sepsis patients, 236 patients did not develop DIC (without-DIC), 79 patients had DIC on Day 1 (overt-DIC), and 42 patients developed DIC after Day 1 (pre-DIC). Compared to without-DIC patients, pre-DIC patients had decreased platelet count, increased international normalized ratio (INR), decreased PC and AT, and increased H3Cit. In contrast, D-dimer and fibrinogen levels did not differ between pre-DIC and without-DIC patients. Using receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis, we found that platelet count and INR in combination with PC and AT could discriminate pre-DIC from without-DIC. The area under the curve in the ROC analysis was 0.83 (95% confidence interval, 0.76 to 0.89). CONCLUSION Our study suggests that platelets and INR in combination with PC and AT can identify the pre-DIC state in septic patients. In contrast, D-dimer increased and fibrinogen decreased in the late (ie, overt) stages of DIC. Our data also suggest that NETosis contributes to the onset of DIC in sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND COVID-19 is an ongoing global pandemic. Changes in haematological characteristics in patients with COVID-19 are emerging as important features of the disease. We aimed to explore the haematological characteristics and related risk factors in patients with COVID-19. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included patients with COVID-19 admitted to three designated sites of Wuhan Union Hospital (Wuhan, China). Demographic, clinical, laboratory, treatment, and outcome data were extracted from electronic medical records and compared between patients with moderate, severe, and critical disease (defined according to the diagnosis and treatment protocol for novel coronavirus pneumonia, trial version 7, published by the National Health Commission of China). We assessed the risk factors associated with critical illness and poor prognosis. Dynamic haematological and coagulation parameters were investigated with a linear mixed model, and coagulopathy screening with sepsis-induced coagulopathy and International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis overt disseminated intravascular coagulation scoring systems was applied. FINDINGS Of 466 patients admitted to hospital from Jan 23 to Feb 23, 2020, 380 patients with COVID-19 were included in our study. The incidence of thrombocytopenia (platelet count <100 × 109 cells per L) in patients with critical disease (42 [49%] of 86) was significantly higher than in those with severe (20 [14%] of 145) or moderate (nine [6%] of 149) disease (p<0·0001). The numbers of lymphocytes and eosinophils were significantly lower in patients with critical disease than those with severe or moderate disease (p<0·0001), and prothrombin time, D-dimer, and fibrin degradation products significantly increased with increasing disease severity (p<0·0001). In multivariate analyses, death was associated with increased neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (≥9·13; odds ratio [OR] 5·39 [95% CI 1·70-17·13], p=0·0042), thrombocytopenia (platelet count <100 × 109 per L; OR 8·33 [2·56-27·15], p=0·00045), prolonged prothrombin time (>16 s; OR 4·94 [1·50-16·25], p=0·0094), and increased D-dimer (>2 mg/L; OR 4·41 [1·06-18·30], p=0·041). Thrombotic and haemorrhagic events were common complications in patients who died (19 [35%] of 55). Sepsis-induced coagulopathy and International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis overt disseminated intravascular coagulation scores (assessed in 12 patients who survived and eight patients who died) increased over time in patients who died. The onset of sepsis-induced coagulopathy was typically before overt disseminated intravascular coagulation. INTERPRETATION Rapid blood tests, including platelet count, prothrombin time, D-dimer, and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio can help clinicians to assess severity and prognosis of patients with COVID-19. The sepsis-induced coagulopathy scoring system can be used for early assessment and management of patients with critical disease. FUNDING National Key Research and Development Program of China.

Abstract
La coagulation intravasculaire disséminée (CIVD) est une cause de mortalité redoutable en milieu de réanimation. L´utilisation du système de score de la société internationale sur la thrombose et l´hémostase (ISTH) permet de faciliter le diagnostic précoce de la CIVD. Nous présentons trois observations cliniques de CIVD d´étiologies différentes: un adénocarcinome prostatique, un choc septique et un hématome rétro-placentaire.

Abstract
After infection, neutrophils release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), decondensed DNA fibers decorated with both nuclear proteins and proteins derived from intracellular granules. These structures have a fundamental role in the development of immunothrombosis; a physiological process mediated by immune cells and molecules from the coagulation system that facilitates the recognition, containment, and destruction of pathogens. Although NETs and immunothrombi are widely hypothesized to be key host defense responses responsible for limiting bacterial dissemination, their actual role in this process has not been formally assessed within the context of a bloodstream infection. Mice were first treated with LPS to generate inflammation (NETs and immunothrombi) and then bacteria dissemination was analyzed by intravital microscopy and colony-forming units (CFU) assay. Blocking NETs or coagulation by the administration of DNase or Argatroban (thrombin inhibitor), respectively, did not modify the percentage of bacteria capture by Kupffer cells, neutrophils or platelets. Moreover, both inhibitors reduced the number of bacteria in the spleen, without modifying CFUs in the liver or lung. In conclusion, we demonstrate that immunothrombi are not necessary to limit the dissemination of bloodstream bacterial infections.

Abstract
We examined the institutional variations in anticoagulation therapy for sepsis-induced
disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and their effects on patient outcomes. This
post hoc analysis of a cohort study included 3195 patients with severe sepsis across 42
intensive care units. To evaluate differences in the intensity of anticoagulation therapy,
the proportion of patients receiving anticoagulation therapy and the total number of
patients with sepsis-induced DIC were compared. Predicted in-hospital mortality for each
patient was calculated using logistic regression analysis. To evaluate survival outcomes,
the actual/mean predicted in-hospital mortality ratio in each institution was calculated.
Thirty-eight institutions with 2897 patients were included. Twenty-five institutions
treated 60% to 100% (high-intensity institutions), while the rest treated 0% to 50%
(low-intensity institutions) of patients with sepsis-induced DIC having anticoagulant
therapy. Every 10-unit increase in the intensity of anticoagulant therapy was associated
with lower in-hospital mortality (odds ratio: 0.904). A higher number of high-intensity
institutions (compared to low-intensity institutions) had lower in-hospital mortality and
fewer bleeding events than predicted. In conclusion, institutional variations existed in
the use of anticoagulation therapy in patients with sepsis-induced DIC. High-intensity
anticoagulation therapy was associated with better outcomes.

Abstract
Optimizing diagnostic criteria to detect specific patients likely to benefit from anticoagulants is warranted. A cutoff of 5 points for the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis overt disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) scoring system was determined in the original article, but its validity was not evaluated. This study aimed to explore the optimal cutoff points of DIC scoring systems and evaluate the effectiveness of early intervention with anticoagulants. We used a nationwide retrospective registry of consecutive adult patients with sepsis in Japan to develop simulated survival data, assuming anticoagulants were conducted strictly according to each cutoff point. Estimated treatment effects of anticoagulants for in-hospital mortality and risk of bleeding were calculated by logistic regression analysis with inverse probability of treatment weighting using propensity scoring. Of 2663 patients with sepsis, 1247 patients received anticoagulants and 1416 none. The simulation model showed no increase in estimated mortality between 0 and 3 cutoff points, whereas at ≥4 cutoff points, mortality increased linearly. The estimated bleeding tended to decrease in accordance with the increase in cutoff points. The optimal cutoff for determining anticoagulant therapy may be 3 points to minimize nonsurvival with acceptable bleeding complications. The findings of the present study suggested a beneficial association of early intervention with anticoagulant therapy and mortality in the patients with sepsis-induced DIC. Present cutoff points of DIC scoring systems may be suboptimal for determining the start of anticoagulant therapy and delay its initiation.

Abstract
In addition to protective “immune response”, sepsis is characterized by destructive “endothelial response” of the host, leading to endotheliopathy and its molecular dysfunction. Complement activation generates membrane attack complex (MAC). MAC causes channel formation to the cell membrane of pathogen, leading to death of microorganisms. In the host, MAC also may induce channel formation to innocent bystander endothelial cells (ECs) and ECs cannot be protected. This provokes endotheliopathy, which activates two independent molecular pathways: inflammatory and microthrombotic. Activated inflammatory pathway promotes the release of inflammatory cytokines and triggers inflammation. Activated microthrombotic pathway mediates platelet activation and exocytosis of unusually large von Willebrand factor multimers (ULVWF) from ECs and initiates microthrombogenesis. Excessively released ULVWF become anchored to ECs as long elongated strings and recruit activated platelets to assemble platelet-ULVWF complexes and form “microthrombi”. These microthrombi strings trigger disseminated intravascular microthrombosis (DIT), which is the underlying pathology of endotheliopathy-associated vascular microthrombotic disease (EA-VMTD). Sepsis-induced endotheliopathy promotes inflammation and DIT. Inflammation produces inflammatory response and DIT orchestrates consumptive thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a combined phenotype of inflammation and endotheliopathy-associated (EA)-VMTD. Successful therapeutic design for sepsis can be achieved by counteracting the pathologic microthrombogenesis.

Abstract
Coagulopathy commonly occurs in sepsis as a critical host response to infection that can progress to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) with an increased mortality. Recent studies have further defined factors responsible for the thromboinflammatory response and intravascular thrombosis, including neutrophil extracellular traps, extracellular vesicles, damage-associated molecular patterns, and endothelial glycocalyx shedding. Diagnosing DIC facilitates sepsis management, and is associated with improved outcomes. Although the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) has proposed criteria for diagnosing overt DIC, these criteria are not suitable for early detection. Accordingly, the ISTH DIC Scientific Standardization Committee has proposed a new category termed “sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC)” to facilitate earlier diagnosis of DIC and potentially more rapid interventions in these critically ill patients. Therapy of SIC includes both treatment of the underlying infection and correcting the coagulopathy, with most therapeutic approaches focusing on anticoagulant therapy. Recently, a phase III trial of recombinant thrombomodulin was performed in coagulopathic patients. Although the 28-day mortality was improved by 2.6% (absolute difference), it did not reach statistical significance. However, in patients who met entry criteria for SIC at baseline, the mortality difference was approximately 5% without increased risk of bleeding. In this review, we discuss current advances in managing SIC and DIC.

Abstract
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a frequent complication in sepsis. Once patients develop DIC, the mortality rate increases significantly. Moreover, recent studies have suggested that coagulation disorder plays a significant role in the development of organ dysfunction in sepsis. Thus, the early detection of DIC is vital in sepsis care, and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine established a set of original diagnostic criteria in 2006 (JAAM DIC). Since then, the usefulness of the JAAM DIC has been repeatedly reported, and these criteria have been widely adopted in emergency and critical care settings in Japan. Different criteria have also been released by the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH overt‐DIC), and the latter criteria are presently considered to be the international standard. Compared with the JAAM DIC, the ISTH overt‐DIC criteria are stricter and the timing of diagnosis is later. This discrepancy is because of conceptual differences. As many physicians think sepsis‐associated DIC is the target of anticoagulant therapies in Japan, the JAAM DIC criteria were designed to allow the early initiation of treatment. As other countries do not provide DIC‐specific treatments, early diagnosis is not necessary, and this situation has led to a significant gap. However, as overt‐DIC is a late‐phase coagulation disorder, a need for early detection has been advocated, and members of the ISTH have recently proposed the category of sepsis‐induced coagulopathy. In this review, we introduce the strengths and weaknesses of the major criteria including JAAM‐DIC, ISTH overt‐DIC, sepsis‐induced coagulopathy, and Japanese Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis‐DIC.

Abstract
Sepsis is a syndrome with physiologic, pathologic, and biochemical abnormalities induced by infection. Sepsis can induce the dysregulation of systemic coagulation and fibrinolytic systems, resulting in disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), which is associated with a high mortality rate. Although there is no international consensus on available treatments for sepsis-induced DIC, DIC diagnosis and treatment are commonly performed in Japanese clinical settings. Therefore, clinical data related to sepsis-induced DIC diagnosis and treatment can be obtained from Japanese clinical settings. We performed a retrospective nationwide observational study (Japan Septic Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation [J-SEPTIC DIC] study) to collect data regarding characteristics of sepsis patients in Japan, with a focus on coagulofibrinolytic dysregulation and DIC treatment received by each patient. The J-SEPTIC DIC study collected information for a total of 3,195 patients with severe sepsis and septic shock and is the largest data set in Japan on DIC diagnosis and treatment in clinical settings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a systemic activation of hemostatic system caused by several causes. Biomarkers including antithrombin (AT), protein C (PC), and thrombomodulin (TM) were reported as the additional markers for DIC in adults. This study aimed to determine the association between biomarkers among patients with overt DIC (ODIC) and nonovert DIC (NDIC) in children in PICU. METHODS We enrolled 103 subjects, aged 1 month-18 years, who were admitted to PICU at Chiang Mai University (CMU) Hospital >24 hours with underlying conditions predisposing to DIC were enrolled. Biomarkers were tested after 24 hours of admission. Subject who had NDIC on the 1st investigations would have other tests on days 3-5 of admission. RESULTS The incidence of ODIC by the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) DIC score was found 24%. The bleeding, thrombosis, and death were significantly higher in ODIC group (P < 0.05). Mean levels of AT and PC in ODIC group were significantly different from NDIC one (66.9% vs 79.9%, P < 0.001 and 46.1% vs 59.2%, P = 0.004, respectively) while mean level of TM was not different between two groups. Adding AT to DIC score was better than the original score for predict mortality [area under curve (AUC) = 0.662 vs AUC = 0.65] and bleeding (AUC = 0.751 vs AUC = 0.732). CONCLUSIONS ODIC is prevalent among critically ill children. Adverse outcomes were more commonly found in children with ODIC. AT and PC levels after 24 hours of PICU admission seem to be the useful biomarkers for ODIC in PICU.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Activation of the hemostatic system can occur in many clinical conditions. However, a systemic and strong activation of coagulation complicating clinical settings such as sepsis, trauma or malignant disease may result in the occurrence disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Areas covered: This article reviews the clinical manifestation and relevance of DIC, the various conditions that may precipitate DIC and the pathogenetic pathways underlying the derangement of the hemostatic system, based on clinical and experimental studies. In addition, the (differential) diagnostic approach to DIC is discussed. Expert commentary: In recent years a lot of precise insights in the pathophysiology of DIC have been uncovered, leading to a better understanding of pathways leading to the hemostatic derangement and providing points of impact for better adjunctive treatment strategies. In addition, simple diagnostic algorithms have been developed and validated to establish a diagnosis of DIC in clinical practice.
