An Observational Study in the United States to Learn How Venous Thromboembolism, Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation, and Sepsis Are Related

This is an observational study in which data already collected from people with venous thromboembolism (VTE) due to sepsis (blood poisoning) are studied. These people were hospitalized in an intensive care unit (ICU) and may or may not have had disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). In this observational study, only observations are made without participants receiving any advice or changes to their healthcare. VTE is a condition that occurs when blood clots form in the veins, which can be dangerous. DIC is a serious blood disorder that can cause clots throughout the body, blocking blood flow. People who have sepsis are at a higher risk of developing both VTE and DIC. Researchers wanted to know if people who have sepsis developed DIC before developing VTE. To prevent VTE in people with sepsis, it is important to know how severe the sepsis is, how it progresses, and whether DIC is also present or not. In this study, researchers will assess patient data from a medical database in the United States (US). The main purpose of this study is to learn if there is a relationship between sepsis, DIC, and VTE. To do this, researchers will divide the participants with VTE due to sepsis into three groups as follows: * participants who were diagnosed with DIC based on the extent of blood clotting * participants who likely had DIC but it was not diagnosed * participants who did not develop DIC during the same hospital visit The researchers will collect the following information: * the number of participants who had VTE due to sepsis also had DIC * the change in participants' laboratory results and vital signs, such as heart rate and blood pressure, from the time their sepsis was diagnosed to the time their VTE and DIC were diagnosed The researchers will study the data collected between January 2007 and December 2021. The data will come from the participants' information stored in a database called the Optum VTE EHR which collects patient medical data from hospitals across the US. In this study, only available data from routine care are collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study.

Role of Fibrinolytic Activity in Neoplastic Pathologies Complicated by Coagulopathy

The aim of this research is to measure fibrinolytic activity in neoplastic pathologies in order to provide preliminary data on which to base a future, larger-scale study to determine predictive markers of complication in order to improve patient management. Primary purpose: measure plasminogen concentration on day 1 in subjects diagnosed with malignant hematological disease, solid tumors, or septic shock, with coagulopathy. Secondary purpose: * Estimate the difference in plasminogen concentration at D1 in patients with coagulopathy between subjects with a diagnosis of haematological malignancy and those with solid tumor * Estimate the difference in plasminogen concentration at D1 in patients with coagulopathy between subjects with a diagnosis of haematological malignancy and those with septic shock * Estimate the difference in plasminogen concentration on Day 1 in patients with coagulopathy between subjects with a diagnosis of solid tumor and those with septic shock. In the 3 groups, subjects with a diagnosis of haematological malignancy, solid tumor, septic shock, presenting with coagulopathy: * Evaluate the correlation between the concentration of circulating plasminogen active on Day 1 and the occurrence of a bleeding complication within 28 days of admission to critical care. * Evaluate the correlation between the concentration of circulating plasminogen active on Day 1 and the occurrence of a thrombotic complication, within 28 days of admission to critical care. * Evaluate the predictive performance of circulating active plasminogen concentration on Day 1 in the need for extra renal purification within 28 days of admission to critical care. * Estimate the differences at each time point (D1, D3, D7) in haemostasis markers and markers of fibrinolytic activity and its regulation. Assess the link between fibrinolytic activity and : * The diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), * The risk of haemorrhage * Risk of organ failures * Thrombotic risk * Risk of organ failure * Neutrophile activation and circulating NETs levels

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) Score and Organ Dysfunction in Septic Shock Patients

Septic shock is common complication in patients with critical illnesses, with higher incidence in low and medium income countries like ours. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is also common in patients presenting to intensive care units. Further DIC is common coexisting condition seen in many patients presenting with sepsis and septic shock. Both DIC and septic shock individually are associated with very high mortality and morbidity and coexistence of both increase risk manifold. Organ dysfunction is a complication of both septic shock and DIC individually and in presence of coexistence risk further multiply. DIC scoring of every patient at risk as in patients presenting with septic shock help us to predict about patients having more chances to convert to overt DIC. Understanding effects of DIC on organ dysfunction in septic shock patients can help to prognosticate and guide towards early intervention. Also, there is paucity of literature on effect of DIC score changes on organ dysfunction in patients with septic shock.

Longitudinal Cohort of Thrombosis and Hemostasis Diseases

This is a multicenter, prospective, longitudinal, observational cohort study to investigate thrombosis and hemostasis diseases in Chinese patients. This study will collect basic information, diagnostic and treatment information, as well as medical expense information of patients from medical records.The incidence and risk factors of thrombosis and hemostasis diseases, the treatment methods, prognosis and medical expenses of these patients in China will be analyzed. The study will use questionnaire to measure the exposure of patients, and prospectively follow-up to collect the prognosis information.

Predictive Value of Scoring System in Neonates with Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation

The aims of this study were to investigate underlying diseases associated with neonatal DIC diagnosed on the first 28 days of life, and whether DIC score could predict mortality in neonates.
