Summary

Septic shock is a life-threatening condition where infection leads to dangerously low blood pressure. Many patients also develop disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), a disorder that causes abnormal blood clotting throughout the body. This study will follow 60 adults in the ICU to see whether changes in a standard DIC score are linked to worsening organ function over two weeks. The goal is to help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier and guide more timely interventions.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If a clear link is found, doctors might use DIC scores to predict organ failure earlier and start treatment sooner in septic shock patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational study at a single center, so results may not apply to all patients. It looks for patterns, not a treatment.
