| アブストラクト | INTRODUCTION: The clinical benefit of hemostasis molecular indicators such as thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), soluble fibrin (SF), and prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 (F1+2) for the diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is reported. Recently, novel DIC diagnostic criteria that adopt them were proposed in Japan. Despite the theoretical understanding of their function, the practical use of these markers remains unclear. The present study aimed to provide a descriptive overview of current clinical practice regarding the measurement of hemostasis markers in sepsis management in Japan. METHODS: This retrospective observational analysis used the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination inpatient database containing data from more than 1500 acute-care hospitals in Japan. We identified adult patients hospitalized for sepsis between April 2018 and March 2021. Descriptive statistics for measuring several hemostasis laboratory markers were summarized using patient disease characteristics, hospital characteristic, and geographical location. RESULTS: This study included 153,474 adult sepsis patients. Crude in-hospital mortality was 30.0%. Frequency of measurement of fibrinogen, fibrin degradation products (FDP), and D-dimer in sepsis patients on admission was 43.2%, 36.1%, and 46.4%, respectively. Novel and specific hemostasis molecular markers such as TAT, SF, and F1+2 were seldom measured (1.9%, 1.7%, and 0.02%, respectively). Hemostasis molecular markers were more frequently measured with progression of thrombocytopenia. Measurement of these clinically favorite hemostasis markers was influenced not only by disease characteristics but also hospital characteristic or geographical location. CONCLUSIONS: Hemostasis molecular markers such as TAT, SF, and F1+2 were rarely measured in clinical settings. Although adopted by several DIC scoring systems, neither fibrinogen, FDP, nor D-dimer was routinely measured. |
