D-Dimer Combined with Fibrinogen Predicts the Risk of Venous Thrombosis in Fracture Patients
Emergency Medicine International, 2020 Objective. While D-dimer can successfully diagnose venous thrombosis due to its excellent negative predictive value (NPV), it cannot be used to detect venous thromboembolism (VTE) because of its low positive predictive value (PPV).
