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 ...

Diagnostic performance of initial blood urea nitrogen combined with D-dimer levels for predicting in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2020
Highlights • Initial blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and D-dimer levels were associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients.• Combination of BUN ≥ 4.6 mmol/L and D-dimer ≥ 0.845 μg/mL can identify patients at high risk of in-hospital mortality.• Development of

Can we use biomarkers of coagulation to predict which patients with foot and ankle injury will develop vein thrombosis? [PDF]

, 2019
Background Our aim was to determine whether plasma levels of Tissue Factor (TF), Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (VCAM-1), Interleukin 6 (IL-6) or D-dimer after foot and ankle injury could predict which patients would develop deep vein thrombosis ...

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. Material &

D-dimer level is a useful predictor for mortality in patients with COVID-19: Analysis of 483 cases

Diabetes & metabolic syndrome, 2020
Background and aims COVID-19 is a multi-system disease, with coagulation abnormalities. D-dimer levels are increased in this disease. We aimed to determine the association of D-dimer levels and mortality and to establish its optimal cut off values in ...

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.

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

Relationship between baseline D-dimer and prognosis in Japanese patients with venous thromboembolism: Insights from the J’xactly study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundD-dimer is a biomarker of fibrin production and degradation, and changes in D-dimer concentration suggest fibrin clot formation, which is associated with thromboembolism and hypercoagulable states.

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 D-dimer level predicts the prognosis in patients with lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2021
Objective Although the significance of increased plasma D-dimer levels in activating coagulation and fibrinolysis has been reported, it is still controversial whether it can be used to predict the prognosis of lung cancer patients. This meta-analysis was
