The incidence and outcomes of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) are incompletely defined. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the trends in incidence and outcomes of critically ill patients with DIC. ⋯ The incidence of DIC has decreased over the past decade, significantly in men, although the mortality rate remains the same. This is in agreement with trends in other critical care syndromes and could be attributable to improvements in health care delivery.
