The Simplified Geneva Score and the Utilization of the D-Dimer and Computerized Tomography for Assessing Pulmonary Embolism [PDF]

, 2011
Background. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is clinically suspected in many patients who complain of shortness of breath or chest pain due to its nonspecific nature. The prevalence of PE, however, is low in this population.

Reliability of D-Dimer test results in deciding the necessity of performing CTA in high risk population to establish the diagnosis of PE

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2016
Purpose: To evaluate the reliability of D-Dimer test results in the diagnosis of PE in high risk patients. Patients and methods: This prospective study was conducted on 98 patients. Mean age was 50 years; age range was 17–88 years. All patients underwent

Thrombo‐inflammatory biomarkers and D‐dimer in a biracial cohort study

Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2021
Background Higher D‐dimer is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and venous thromboembolism. In the general population, D‐dimer and other thrombo‐inflammatory biomarkers are higher among Black individuals, who also have higher risk of these ...

Age adjusted D-dimers [PDF]

Clinical Medicine, 2019
Editor – I enjoyed the article by Dutton et al [1][1] who described the process of retrospectively creating an age adjusted D-dimer for the assay they used. The use of an age-adjusted cut-off has been successfully tested across a range of D-dimer assays, although a different Hemos assay was ...

Diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism with d-Dimer Adjusted to Clinical Probability.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2019
BACKGROUND Retrospective analyses suggest that pulmonary embolism is ruled out by a d-dimer level of less than 1000 ng per milliliter in patients with a low clinical pretest probability (C-PTP) and by a d-dimer level of less than 500 ng per milliliter in

The place of D-dimer and L-lactate levels in the early diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia [PDF]

, 2015
INTRODUCTION: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is an abdominal-vascular emergency which is rare and has high mortality rates (60-80 %) due to late diagnosis (1-3).

Peripherally inserted central venous catheter in upper extremities leads to an increase in D-dimer and deep vein thrombosis in lower extremities

Thrombosis Journal, 2021
Background The purpose of this study is to elucidate the association between peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) in upper extremities and lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (LEDVT) by observing the changes in D-dimer.

Discrepant D-dimer results between Innovance D-Dimer and Vidas D-Dimer Exclusion II assays

Diagnostyka Laboratoryjna, 2015
Background. The concentration of D-dimer (DD) below the 500 ng/mL FEU cut-off value is one of the criteria for exclusion of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of increased plasma DD in patients with a low risk of VTE among healthy individuals and in patients who have had VTE episodes in the past.

Modified IMPROVE VTE Risk Score and Elevated D-Dimer Identify a High Venous Thromboembolism Risk in Acutely Ill Medical Population for Extended Thromboprophylaxis

TH Open, 2020
An individualized approach to identify acutely ill medical patients at increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and a low risk of bleeding to optimize the benefit and risk of extended thromboprophylaxis (ET) is needed.

The relationship between ambulatory ability before surgery and the D-dimer value after total hip arthroplasty: the evaluation of ambulatory ability by the timed "Up & Go" test. [PDF]

, 2005
We examined whether ambulatory ability before surgery might influence the post-operative D-dimer level after total hip arthroplasty (THA). One hundred two patients with hip osteoarthritis receiving THA were included in the current study.
