Utilization of serum D-dimer assays prior to computed tomography pulmonary angiography scans in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism among emergency department physicians: a retrospective observational study

BMC Emergency Medicine, 2021
Background A variety of evidence-based algorithms and decision rules using D-Dimer testing have been proposed as instruments to allow physicians to safely rule out a pulmonary embolism (PE) in low-risk patients.

Is D-dimer a reliable biomarker compared to ESR and CRP in the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection?: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Bone & Joint Research, 2020
Aims: The diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has always been challenging. Recently, D-dimer has become a promising biomarker in diagnosing PJI. However, there is controversy regarding its diagnostic value.

D-dimer

Critical Reviews in Clinical Laboratory Sciences, 2018
D-dimer is a soluble fibrin degradation product deriving from the plasmin-mediated degradation of cross-linked fibrin. D-dimer can hence be considered a biomarker of activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis, and it is routinely used for ruling out venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Combination of D-dimer and Albumin in the Prediction of Deep Vein Thrombosis in Patients with Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, 2023
Background and Purpose Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) makes spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) treatment more challenging. We aimed to determine the predictive ability of D-dimer combination with albumin for DVT in spontaneous ICH.

Comparison between different D‐Dimer cutoff values to assess the individual risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism: analysis of results obtained in the DULCIS study

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, 2016
D‐dimer assay, generally evaluated according to cutoff points calibrated for VTE exclusion, is used to estimate the individual risk of recurrence after a first idiopathic event of venous thromboembolism (VTE).

The Level of D-Dimer Is Positively Correlated With the Severity of Mycoplasma pneumoniae Pneumonia in Children

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Objective Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) is an important disease in children. Studies have demonstrated that the levels of D-dimer are elevated in some children with MPP, especially those with thrombotic complications.
