Plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) levels correlate with multiple organ dysfunction scores using the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score in sepsis-induced DIC patients. DIC patients were classified into four groups according to PAI-1 levels at the time of DIC diagnosis (<30 ng/mL, 30–60 ng/mL, 60–90 ng/mL, and >90 ng/mL), and the groups were compared with respect to SOFA scores. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. Reprinted with modifications from International Journal of Hematology [46].
