Performance of age-adjusted D-dimer values for predicting DVT before the knee and hip arthroplasty
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2021 Purpose To compare the specificity and sensitivity of preoperative D-dimer and age-adjusted D-dimer value for predicting the incidence of the DVT preoperatively in total joint arthroplasty (TJA) patients. Methods We enrolled 406 patients finally above 50

Diagnostic Value of D-Dimer in COVID-19: A Meta-Analysis and Meta-Regression
Clinical and applied thrombosis/hemostasis, 2021 The prognostic role of hypercoagulability in COVID-19 patients is ambiguous. D-dimer, may be regarded as a global marker of hemostasis activation in COVID-19.

Association between D-dimer level and chest CT severity score in patients with SARS-COV-2 pneumonia
Scientific Reports, 2021 The elevated level of D-dimer and its relationship with poor outcomes in SARS-COV-2 pneumonia patients have been demonstrated. In addition to a hypercoagulable state, D-dimer is also a biomarker of inflammation. We investigated the relationship between D-

Social support moderates D-dimer and self-rated successful aging within people with HIV and older adults. [PDF]
, 2020 Many factors can influence perceptions of successful aging (SA), including social isolation and poor physical health. We hypothesized that social support attenuates the negative effect of plasma D-dimer, a correlate of HIV and aging, on SA.
