DIC is seen in approximately 1 percent of admissions to tertiary care hospitals. In a series of 123,231 patients admitted to university hospitals in Japan, 1286 were diagnosed with DIC (1 percent) [19]. These data may underestimate the incidence of mild, subclinical, or transient DIC. In contrast, the incidence of DIC may be lower in lower acuity settings.

The incidence of DIC in specific medical conditions is illustrated by the following examples:
 
●'''Cancer''' – DIC is seen in a significant number of patients with cancer. Malignancies most likely to cause DIC include acute promyelocytic leukemia, pancreatic cancer, and other mucin-producing solid tumors such as gastric, prostate, breast, and ovarian cancer [20]. In a cohort of 1117 patients with various solid tumor malignancies, DIC was diagnosed in 76 (6.8 percent) [21]. Significant risk factors for the development of DIC included age >60 years (odds ratio [OR] 5.1), male sex (OR 4.3), breast cancer (OR 4.0), tumor necrosis (OR 3.4), and advanced stage disease (OR 2.6).
 
●'''Infection''' – DIC is common in patients with bacterial sepsis, with increasing likelihood related to the severity of the systemic inflammatory response. In a series of 35 patients who met criteria for systemic inflammatory response syndrome for four or more consecutive days, DIC was seen in 29 (83 percent) [22]. (See "Sepsis syndromes in adults: Epidemiology, definitions, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and prognosis".)
 
●'''Trauma''' – In a review of 136 patients with severe trauma, 42 had DIC (31 percent) [23]. Series of patients with head trauma have reported DIC in approximately 40 percent [24,25].
 
●'''Obstetrical complications''' – The incidence of DIC in patients with obstetrical complications ranges from 20 percent in patients with hemolysis, elevated liver function tests, and low platelets (HELLP syndrome) to 66 percent in patients with amniotic fluid embolism [26,27]. These and other obstetrical conditions associated with DIC are discussed in detail separately. (See "Disseminated intravascular coagulation during pregnancy".)

Overview

The incidence of DIC is different in different diseases as it is almost always related to a life threatening condition. It depends on the cause of DIC such as cancer, infection, trauma and Obstetrical complications. The incidence of DIC is different in different diseases as it is almost always related to a life threatening condition. It depends on the cause of DIC such as cancer, infection, trauma and Obstetrical complications. The prevalence of DIC depends on the clinical settings, higher versus low acquity settings. The data sometimes may underestimate the incidence of trasient or mild cases of DIC.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • The incidence of DIC is different in different diseases as it is almost always related to a life threatening condition. It depends on the cause of DIC such as cancer, infection, trauma and Obstetrical complications[1][2]
  • In 2010, the incidence of DIC was estimated to be 26.2 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[3][4][5]

Prevalence

  • The prevalence of DIC depends on the clinical settings, higher versus low acquity settings.
  • In 2013, the prevalence of DIC was estimated to be 46.8% (292/624) [6][7][8][9]

Age

  • Patients of all age groups may develop DIC.

Race

  • There is no racial predilection to DIC

Gender

  • DIC affects men and women equally

Developing Countries

  • The prevalence of DIC depends on the clinical settings, higher versus low acquity settings.
