Popis: Abstract Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a frequent complication in patients with sepsis and is associated with increased mortality. Anticoagulant therapy may be appropriate for certain patients with DIC, particularly those with increased disease severity and deficiency in the physiologic anticoagulant antithrombin. We retrospectively analyzed post-marketing survey data from 1562 patients with sepsis-associated DIC and antithrombin activity of 70% or less. All the patients were treated with antithrombin concentrates. Baseline sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, DIC score, and antithrombin activity were assessed. Cox multivariate regression analysis, Kaplan–Meier curve analysis, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed to evaluate the performance of variables used to assess mortality. Furthermore, a decision tree was constructed to classify the risk of 28-day mortality. COX multivariate regression analysis demonstrated a significant association of age, sex, baseline SOFA score, baseline antithrombin activity, and the presence of pneumonia or skin/soft tissue infection with increased mortality. The area under the curve of SOFA score or antithrombin activity for mortality was 0.700 and 0.614, respectively. Kaplan–Meier analysis demonstrated that mortality was significantly higher in patients with SOFA score ≥ 12 and antithrombin activity 40%), medium (40%–20%), and low (
