This method of risk stratification dictates that patients who are deemed to have a low pre-test probability of VTE should have a serum D-dimer level taken. D-dimer values correlate positively with increasing age, this work looks at whether an age adjusted value can be used to safely exclude...
The age-adjusted D-dimer calculator helps you calculate the D-dimers cutoff level for your age. Lower D-dimers may be helpful in ruling out a Pulmonary Embolism (PE) or Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) diagnosis. This calculator is suitable for people who are at least 51 years old. There are...
D-dimer measurement is an important step in the diagnostic strategy of clinically suspected acute pulmonary embolism (PE), but its clinical usefulness is limited in elderly patients.To prospectively validate whether an age-adjusted D-dimer cutoff, defined as age×10 in patients 50 years or older,...
The age-adjusted threshold can reduce the need for imaging tests compared to the fixed cutoff. The safety of this approach should be confirmed in large management studies. Summary. Background: Age-adjusted D-dimer has been proposed to increase specificity for the diagnosis of venous thromboembolism...
