D‐dimer assays are commonly used in clinical practice to exclude a diagnosis of deep vein
thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. More recently, they have been also been used to guide …

Context.—D-dimer is widely used for exclusion, or as an aid in diagnosis, of venous
thromboembolism (VTE); however, the D-dimer assay methods available from …

Background: Despite extensive literature, the diagnostic role of d-dimer for deep venous
thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) remains unclear, reflecting multiple d-dimer …

Background: The reported diagnostic accuracy of the D‐dimer test for exclusion of deep vein
thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) varies. It is unknown to what extent this is …

Twenty years after its first use in the diagnostic workup of suspected venous
thromboembolism (VTE), fibrin D‐dimer (DD) testing has gained wide acceptance for ruling …

Background: D-dimer is routinely measured as part of the clinical diagnosis algorithms for
venous thromboembolism (VTE). In these algorithms, low D-dimer cut-off values are used to …

ABSTRACT D-dimer, the final degradation product of cross-linked fibrin, is typically elevated
in patients with acute venous thromboembolism. With its high sensitivity and negative …

The performance of a new automated ELISA for a rapid, individual and quantitative
measurement of plasma D-dimer (VIDAS D-dimer) has been evaluated. First, a study of 100 …

Currently, the same d‐dimer cut‐off point is used to define a positive result for all patients
with suspected venous thromboembolism, regardless of their pretest probability. However …

Background: The use of D-dimer assays as a rule-out test for deep venous thrombosis (DVT)
is controversial. To clarify this issue we performed a systematic review of the relevant …
