Introduction: Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a severe complication of critical conditions. There are several scoring systems used for the diagnosis of DIC, including the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) Overt-DIC criteria, the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare (JMHW) criteria and the Chinese Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis scoring system for DIC (CDSS). The objective of this prospective study was to evaluate the accuracy and predictive value of the CDSS.

Materials And Methods: 1318 patients, aged 18-70 years old and suspected of DIC were enrolled from 18 hospitals across China. Participants were divided into two groups for analysis (group 1, non-hematological diseases; group 2, hematological diseases). 242 patients were excluded because of incomplete data collection and failure to follow-up.

Results And Conclusions: The rates of concordance of diagnosis of DIC between the CDSS and two other scoring systems were close to 80%. The area under ROC curves of CDSS had a slight advantage when using the ISTH, JMHW criteria or prognosis as gold standard, respectively. The CDSS DIC was an independent predictor of mortality, and its odds-ratio was superior or comparable to that of the ISTH and JMHW criteria in the two groups. The CDSS DIC score also had a significant correlation with the APACHE II and SOFA score (p < 0.05). In summary, as a quantification standard of the Chinese experts' consensus, the CDSS is conducive to the standardized diagnosis of DIC because of its favorable diagnostic and prognostic utility.

Background:  The benefits and risks of extending anticoagulant treatment beyond the first 3 to 6 months in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) in clinical practice are not well understood.

Methods:  ETNA-VTE Europe is a prospective, noninterventional, post-authorization study in unselected patients with VTE treated with edoxaban in eight European countries for up to 18 months. Recurrent VTE, major bleeding, and all-cause death were the primary study outcomes.

Purpose: To investigate the influence of antithrombotic therapy on occurrence of thrombotic and bleeding complications after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).

Methods: In this retrospective single-center cohort study, patients who underwent elective endovascular aneurysm repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm were categorized into three antithrombotic groups: single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT), anticoagulants, or dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Outcome measures were the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), prosthetic limb occlusions, and bleeding complications during follow-up.

Background: Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a common complication in sepsis patients which exacerbates patient outcomes. The prevalence and outcomes of DIC in sepsis is wide-ranging and highly depends on the severity of the disease and diagnostic approaches utilized. Varied diagnostic criteria of DIC have been developed and their performance in diagnosis and prognosis is not consistent.

Background: The rate of VTE in trauma patients varies significantly in the reported literature. We aimed to determine the incidence of VTE in trauma patients in a trauma-receiving hospital over a 7-year period. We sought to evaluate the timing and nature of VTE events and explore the patterns of co-occurrence between PE and DVT, while factoring in clinical care and death outcome.

Background: Recent literature indicates that COVID-19 infection is a negative predictor of good outcomes following elective orthopedic surgery. However, the ideal timing of surgery after infection is unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare the rates of post-operative complications between those who underwent elective orthopedic surgery <50 days and >50 days after COVID-19 infection.
