Abstract

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a complex condition with diverse etiologies. While its association with sepsis has been widely studied, less focus has been given to DIC arising from other critical conditions, such as trauma, burns, acute pancreatitis, and obstetric complications. The 2024 Clinical Practice Guidelines, developed by the Japanese Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (JSTH), aim to fill this gap and offer comprehensive recommendations for managing DIC across various conditions. This study, Part 4 of the guideline series, addresses DIC management in trauma, burns, obstetric complications, acute pancreatitis/liver failure, viral infections, and autoimmune diseases. For trauma-associated DIC, early administration of fresh-frozen plasma (FFP), coagulation factor concentrates such as fibrinogen and prothrombin complex concentrates, and tranexamic acid is recommended. The guidelines also highlight DIC in obstetrics, which is associated with massive bleeding, and recommend the administration of fibrinogen concentrate, antithrombin concentrate, and tranexamic acid. Through a systematic review of the current evidence, the guidelines provide stratified recommendations aimed at improving clinical outcomes in DIC management beyond sepsis, thereby serving as a valuable resource for healthcare providers globally.
