Structured PICO

Does the JAAM DIC scoring system predict MODS and poor prognosis in patients with severe sepsis?

Population

Patients with severe sepsis

Intervention

Japanese Association for Acute Medicine (JAAM) disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) scoring system (including repeated daily scoring)

Outcome

Prognostic value in predicting multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and poor prognosis

The JAAM DIC scoring system, especially when repeated daily, is a useful prognostic tool for predicting MODS and poor outcomes in patients with severe sepsis.

Abstract

The JAAM DIC scoring system exhibits good prognostic value in predicting MODS and poor prognosis in patients with severe sepsis and can detect more patients requiring treatment. Conducting repeated daily JAAM scoring increases the ability to predict the patient's prognosis.
