d-dimer (DD) levels are used in the diagnostic workup of suspected acute pulmonary
embolism (APE), but data on DD for early risk stratification in APE are limited. In this post hoc …

Purpose Patients with submassive pulmonary embolism (PE) have a higher short-term
mortality than those with low-risk PE. Rapid identification of submassive PE is important for …

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 …

Objective To investigate whether the combination of D-dimer and simplified pulmonary
embolism severity index (sPESI) could improve prediction of in-hospital death from …

Background: Risk stratification is currently recommended for the initial management of
patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Methods: We performed a meta-analysis of …

Background: Safe exclusion and risk stratification are currently recommended for the initial
management of patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE). The aim of this study was to …

Background: A number of variables have been evaluated for risk stratification in patients with
acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Whereas increased D‐dimer levels have been associated …

Prognosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) based on levels ofd-dimer has shown mixed results,
and data on in-hospital prognosis of stable patients are sparse. We assessed in-hospital …

Background Assessment of pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a diagnostic and
investigative burden to emergency departments. The decision of which D‐dimer cut‐off to …

Background D-dimer testing is widely applied as a first step in the diagnostic work-up of
pulmonary embolism (PE). Although this is the most sensitive assay for ruling out PE, the …
