EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF SEPTIC DIC (EASY-DIC)

June 1, 2026 updated by: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France

OPTIMIZATION AND CLINICAL VALIDATION OF AN INNOVATIVE TEST FOR THE EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF SEPTIC DIC VIA AN AUTOMATION INTEGRATING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation is a severe complication of septic shock, associated with high mortality, whose diagnosis relies on complex scores that are rarely used in practice. Preliminary studies have shown that increased neutrophil fluorescence is associated with Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation and could reflect NETosis, a key mechanism of immunothrombosis. This study aims to validate neutrophil fluorescence measured on the SthemA 801 analyzer, alone or integrated into an artificial intelligence model, as an early, reliable, and routinely usable biomarker for the diagnosis of septic Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Patients admitted to intensive care for septic shock
This pilot cohort is based on the demonstration that the increase in fluorescence of neutrophils, whether isolated or integrated into an AI model, is predictive of DIC and constitutes an early and reliable diagnostic marker of septic DIC.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Early diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation in patients with septic shock hospitalized in medical intensive care using the neutrophil fluorescence ratio or an AI model based on complete blood count results
Time Frame: From admission to intensive care until day 2 after admission
  1. Development and validation of the optimal neutrophil fluorescence threshold/ratio on the sthemA 801 analyzer for the early diagnosis of septic DIC in patients with septic shock admitted to medical intensive care.
  2. Development and validation of the AI model, based on the results of the CBC combined with the advanced multiparametric capabilities of the sthemA 801 analyzer, for the early diagnosis of septic DIC in patients with septic shock admitted to medical intensive care.
From admission to intensive care until day 2 after admission
