The Influence of Hemocoagulation Disorders on the Development of Posttraumatic Cerebral Infarction and Outcome in Patients with Moderate or Severe Head Trauma

Table 1

Components of the DIC score.

	0	1	2	3	Max points possible
Blood platelet count (×10^9/L)	>100	51–100	≤50		2
Fibrinogen (g/L)	≥1.0	<1.0			1
D-dimer concentration (mg/L)	≤2.0		2.1–8.0	>8.0	3
Prolonged prothrombin time (s)	<3	3–6	>6		2
Total score					8

All individual components are summed for a total of eight possible points. If FDP titer is used instead of D-dimer, then cutoff values for the DIC score are 0 (≤5 g/L), 2 (6–40 g/L), and 3 (>40 g/L).
