RISK ASSESSMENT OF DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION

摘要

A method and system for the assessment of the risk of development of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), in patients showing systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) or sepsis is disclosed. Specifically, the invention provides a method for early DIC assessment and preventive treatment planning, which has the potential for significantly decreasing mortality rate as well as the rate of DIC related sequelae in the SIRS/sepsis patient population and thereby improving quality of life. The risk assessment method is based on features of vital signs and/or biomarker measurements, and provides solutions for assessing the risk of DIC development 24 hours in advance or within 72 hours after ICU admittance.
