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...
To evaluate whether using D-dimer test results adjusted for age according to the formula proposed by Douma et al. improves diagnostic accuracy; to assess the appropriateness of ordering D-dimer tests on clinical suspicion of pulmonary embolism; and to explore the association of test results with ...
Background: Use of an age-adjusted D-dimer for the evaluation of acute pulmonary embolus (PE) has been prospectively validated in the literature and has become a practice recommendation from major medical societies. Most research on this subject involves the most common D-dimer assays reporting ...

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,...
