OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) score and mortality for children with shock. DESIGN: Retrospective. SETTING: Tertiary care, 20-bed pediatric intensive care unit. PATIENTS: A total of 132 children with sepsis or shock admitted from January 2003 to December 2005. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: A total of 132 patients less than 18 years of age with a diagnosis of shock or sepsis were included in the analysis. Of these patients, 90 survived and 42 died (31.8%). Patients ranged from 6 days to 18 years (median 5.8 years), and were a majority male (63%). Variables associated with mortality included peak DIC score within 24 h of ICU admission, age, weight, volume of blood products transfused, inotrope score, pediatric index of mortality (PIM 2) score, 12-h pediatric risk of mortality (PRISM III) score and presence of mechanical ventilation (P < 0.05). Patients with DIC scores >or= 5 (overt DIC) had 50% mortality, compared to 20% for patients with DIC scores < 5. Overall, a one-point rise in DIC score was associated with an increased risk of mortality after adjusting for age, race, gender, hemodynamic instability, and PRISM III score [OR 1.35 (1.02, 1.78)]. Most patients achieve their peak DIC score within 2 h of ICU admission. CONCLUSIONS: This analysis suggests that DIC score, easily calculated early in ICU admission, is associated with mortality for children with sepsis and shock, regardless of initial severity of illness or inotrope use.
