Table 1 International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis diagnostic scoring system for disseminated intravascular coagulation. Scoring system for overt disseminated intravascular coagulation
From: Pancreatic carcinoma underlying a complex presentation in late pregnancy: a case report
Risk assessment: Underlying disorder | If yes: proceed If no: do not use this algorithm |
Score the test results: | • Platelet count: > 100 × 109/L = 0; < 100 × 109/L = 1; < 50 × 109/L = 2 • Elevated fibrin marker (D-dimer*, fibrin degradation products): no increase = 0; moderate increase = 2; strong increase = 3 • Prolonged PT: < 3 seconds = 0; 3–6 seconds: = 1; > 6 seconds = 2 • Fibrinogen level: > 1 g/L = 0; < 1 g/L = 1 |
Calculate score: | ≥ 5 compatible with overt DIC < 5 suggestive for non-overt DIC |
