Massive study reveals how often sepsis leads to dangerous clotting
NCT ID NCT06373159
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at health records from over 5,700 adults in Japan with sepsis (blood poisoning) to see how many also developed a serious blood clotting disorder called DIC. Researchers collected information from hospital databases to track DIC rates and severity scores. The goal was to better understand this complication in a country where specific DIC treatments are approved.
