A prospective validation study found that age-adjusted D-dimer thresholds can safely rule out lower extremity DVT for more ...

Ottawa, ON - Performing a D-dimer test in addition to clinical assessment of patients with suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT) simplifies diagnosis of the disorder, a new randomized study has shown.

Dec. 6, 2002 — D-dimer may be a useful adjunct to screening for deep vein thrombosis (DVT), according to a report in the November issue of the Journal of Vascular Surgery. The authors suggest that if ...

D-dimer plus multidetector CT (D-dimer/CT) is as effective as D-dimer/CT plus venous compression ultrasound (US) for identifying pulmonary embolism (PE) and short-term risk of thromboembolic events in ...

New research suggests that it may be possible to simplify the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) without compromising accuracy. Contrary to the standard practice of administering several tests to ...

A comparison of two diagnostic methods used to detect deep vein thrombosis (DVT; a blood clot in a deep vein in the leg or thigh) of the lower extremities indicates that a simpler method, with wider ...

A D-dimer test is a lab test that helps diagnose blood clotting conditions. The test measures the levels of a protein fragment that remains in your blood after multiple blood clots break down. A high ...

This was because troponin, D-dimer, and CRP levels were occasionally high even when the lung ultrasound was normal. As a result, although more than moderate pneumonitis on lung ultrasound should ...

The neural network developed in this study yielded a false-negative rate of 0.22%. Neural network analysis may allow for improved risk assessment for deep vein thrombosis, according to results ...
