Study Overview
Brief Summary
This is an observational study in which data already collected from people with sepsis (blood poisoning) and/or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) are studied.
In observational studies, only observations are made without participants receiving any advice or changes to their healthcare.
DIC is a serious blood disorder that can cause clots throughout the body, blocking blood vessels. People who have sepsis or cancer are at a higher risk of developing DIC.
To find a treatment that works well for people with DIC associated with sepsis, it is important to know about its occurrence, treatments people receive, and their outcomes. Japan is the only country that has officially approved medicines for DIC including a few newer medicines that prevent extensive blood clotting.
In this study, researchers will assess patient data from a hospital database in Japan.
The main purpose of this study is to learn more about how many adults develop DIC related to sepsis, thrombocytopenic sepsis (sudden decrease in the number of platelets in the blood), or septic shock (dangerously low blood pressure) in Japan every year.
To learn about this, researchers will collect the following information:
- The number of participants who developed DIC 14 days, 21 days and 28 days after their sepsis diagnosis
- The grading scores given to the participants which are used to assess the likelihood, cause, severity, treatment plan, and outcome of DIC (including scores called JAAM, ISTH, MHLW, and/or SOFA scores)
- The number of days between diagnosis of sepsis and the beginning of DIC
Researchers will study the data collected between June 2018 and June 2023. The data will come from TXP Medical, which collects data through the hospital health information system of 7 selected hospitals for this study across Japan.
In this study, only available data from routine care are collected.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Distribution of MHLW DIC score
Time Frame: Retrospective analysis of real world data between 01 JUN 2018 and 01 JUN 2023
The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) DIC score is a scoring system for the diagnosis of overt DIC. MHLW DIC score ≥7 is defined as DIC. DIC: disseminated intravascular coagulation
Incidence of DIC assessed at 14 days, 21 days and 28 days of the patient follow up
Time Frame: Retrospective analysis of real world data between 01 JUN 2018 and 01 JUN 2023
DIC: disseminated intravascular coagulation
Distribution of JAAM DIC score
Time Frame: Retrospective analysis of real world data between 01 JUN 2018 and 01 JUN 2023
The Japanese Association for Acute Medicine (JAAM) DIC scoring algorithm includes a number of variables but in addition specific criteria for evidence of a Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS). JAAM DIC score \>= 4 supports a diagnosis of DIC. DIC: disseminated intravascular coagulation
Distribution of ISTH DIC score
Time Frame: Retrospective analysis of real world data between 01 JUN 2018 and 01 JUN 2023
The International Society on Thrombosis Haemostasis (ISTH) DIC score is a simple scoring system produced by the ISTH group for the diagnosis of DIC depending on the Platelet count, the PT, the fibrinogen level and critically the FDP/D-Dimer results. A total score of ≥5 = DIC as long as the score is associated with a clinical disorder known to cause DIC. DIC: disseminated intravascular coagulation
Distribution of SOFA score
Time Frame: Retrospective analysis of real world data between 01 JUN 2018 and 01 JUN 2023
The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is a scoring system based on performance of respiratory, coagulation, liver, cardiovascular, central nervous system, and kidney. The higher the SOFA score, the higher the likely mortality. DIC: disseminated intravascular coagulation
Days from sepsis diagnosis to the onset of DIC
Time Frame: Retrospective analysis of real world data between 01 JUN 2018 and 01 JUN 2023
DIC: disseminated intravascular coagulation
