The relationship between D-dimer level at diagnosis and long-term clinical outcomes has
not been fully evaluated in venous thromboembolism (VTE). The COMMAND VTE Registry …

Objectives: The utility of D‐dimer testing for suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) can be
limited by test specificity. The authors tested if the threshold of the quantitative D‐dimer can …

BACKGROUND: D-dimer tests are used in various diagnostic strategies to exclude
pulmonary embolism (PE). However, their role as an exclusionary first-line test is still …

OBJECTIVES: Pulmonary embolism is a common disease associated with a high mortality
rate. The risk assessment and appropriate treatment selection of patients with acute …

Essentials• A stand‐alone D‐dimer below 750 μg/L has been proposed to rule out acute
pulmonary embolism (PE).• This was a post‐hoc analysis on data from 6 studies comprising …

Study objective To assess the accuracy of a rapid ELISA D-dimer assay for the exclusion of
pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients suspected of PE, using pulmonary angiography alone …

Background D-dimer is a biomarker of fibrin production and degradation, and changes in D-
dimer concentration suggest fibrin clot formation, which is associated with thromboembolism …

High-sensitivity troponin (hs-cTn) assays enable the troponin cutoff value to be lowered,
resulting in an increase of sensitivity at the cost of specificity. In the present study, the risk of …

D-dimer is a multifaceted biomarker of concomitant activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis,
which is routinely used for ruling out pulmonary embolism (PE) and/or deep vein thrombosis …

D-dimer levels are increased in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). However, D-
dimer levels are also increased in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The …
