Official Title: Incidence and Prognosis of Disseminated Intravscular Coagulation in Patients Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock; Association With 4G/5G Polymorphism of PAI-1 Gene
Brief Summary: Data on 4G/5G polymorphism of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene are limited in Asian patients with sepsis. Therefore, the investigators aim to prospectively investigate the incidence of 4G/5G polymorphism and its relationship with disseminated intravascluar coagulatin in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock.
