Research Article: Overt disseminated intravascular coagulation and antithrombin III predict bleeding and in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Abstract
Background: Limited data are available on the relationship of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) with mortality in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Thus, we investigated the association of DIC score and antithrombin (AT) III with clinical outcomes in patients undergoing ECMO.
