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.
