Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation Immediately after Trauma Predicts a Poor Prognosis in Severely Injured Patients: A Sub-analysis of a Multicenter Prospective Study on Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation in Trauma
Abstract:Background: Trauma patients die from massive bleeding due to DIC with a fibrinolytic phenotype in the early phase, which transforms to DIC with a thrombotic phenotype in the late phase of trauma, contributing to the development of MODS and a consequent poor outcome. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) diagnosis on the survival probability and predictive performance of DIC scores for massive transfusion, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), an… Show more
