Background In acute aortic syndrome (AAS) screening, D-dimer is a well-established
biomarker whose usefulness has been scarcely studied with respect to its measurement …

Background. Recently, D‐dimer has been suggested as a biomarker to rule out acute aortic
syndrome (AAS). Since it increases with age, this study was conducted to reveal whether an …

Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the validity of D-dimer measurements
for the diagnosis of acute aortic syndrome in patients admitted to hospital with acute chest …

Study objective Acute aortic syndrome is a life-threatening emergency condition. Previous
systematic reviews of D-dimer diagnostic accuracy for acute aortic syndrome have been …

Background D-dimer is the only biomarker currently recommended in guidelines for the
diagnosis of acute aortic syndrome (AAS). We undertook a systematic review to determine …

Purpose Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a highly fatal disorder if not promptly diagnosed.
Some international studies have suggested that serum d-dimer levels may be used to …

Diagnostic test accuracy of D-dimer for acute aortic dissection (AAD) has not been evaluated
by meta-analysis with the bivariate model methodology. Four databases were electrically …

Aim To test the utility of plasma D-dimer determination in the diagnosis of acute aortic
dissection (AAD), in particular with respect to its high negative predictive value reported in …

Results Six cohort studies and 1 case-control study met the inclusion criteria. Although 4
different types of D-dimer assays were used, a standard test threshold of greater than 500 …

Acute aortic dissection is a rare but devastating condition with high mortality. Unfortunately,
there is no sensitive screening indicator of disease in common use. The objective of this …
