Relationships between disseminated intravascular coagulation scoring systems. Japanese Association for Acute Medicine (JAAM) disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and International Society on Haemostasis and Thrombosis (ISTH) overt DIC refer to JAAM DIC patients who met only the JAAM DIC criteria and the JAAM DIC patients who simultaneously met the ISTH overt DIC criteria on day 1, respectively. The numerators in the fractions indicate the patients who died on day 28 (upper) and in hospital (bottom). The ISTH overt DIC scoring system missed dozens of DIC patients on day 1, who would eventually die.
