アブストラクト | OBJECTIVE: Pregnant women may develop disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), possibly resulting in massive maternal haemorrhage and perinatal death. The Japan guideline recommends use of antithrombin III (ATIII) for DIC in obstetrics; however, its effect remains uncertain. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of ATIII for DIC in obstetrics, using a national inpatient database in Japan. DESIGN: Nationwide observational study. SETTING: Japan. POPULATION: We used the Diagnosis Procedure Combination inpatient database to identify patients who delivered at hospital and were diagnosed with DIC from July 2010 to March 2018. METHODS: Propensity score matching analyses were performed to compare in-hospital maternal mortality and hysterectomy during hospitalisation between users and non-users of ATIII on the day of delivery. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: In-hospital mortality, hysterectomy. RESULTS: A total of 9920 patients were enrolled, including 4329 patients (44%) who used ATIII and 5511 patients (56%) who did not use ATIII. One-to-one propensity score matching created 3290 pairs. In-hospital maternal mortality did not differ significantly between the propensity-matched groups (0.3% in the ATIII group versus 0.5% in the control group; odds ratio 0.73; 95% CI 0.35-1.54). A significantly lower proportion of patients in the ATIII group, compared with those in the control group, underwent hysterectomy during hospitalisation (5.3% versus 8.7%; absolute risk difference -2.9%; 95% CI -4.2 to -1.6%). CONCLUSIONS: Although the present study did not show a mortality-reducing effect of ATIII for patients with DIC in obstetrics, it may have clinical benefit in terms of reducing the number of patients undergoing hysterectomy. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: This study did not show mortality-reducing effect of antithrombin III for patients with DIC in obstetrics. |
