We identified adults with APL and categorized them into groups of patients with and without DIC.

The presence of DIC was associated with increased odds of sepsis, vasopressor support, pneumonia, acute respiratory failure, intubation/mechanical ventilation, and acute kidney injury, reflecting heightened vulnerability to these complications. Patients with DIC demonstrated significantly higher odds ratios for major bleeding, intracranial hemorrhage, gastrointestinal bleeding, red blood cell transfusion, platelet transfusion, fresh frozen plasma transfusion, and cryoprecipitate transfusion, highlighting the pronounced hematological risks posed by DIC.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study has revealed the significant associations between DIC in APL and various outcomes, underscoring the clinical and economic implications of these conditions.
