Journal ArticleDOI

Potential of an age adjusted D-dimer cut-off value to improve the exclusion of pulmonary embolism in older patients: a retrospective analysis of three large cohorts

TL;DR: The age adjusted D-dimer cut-off point, combined with clinical probability, greatly increased the proportion of older patients in whom pulmonary embolism could be safely excluded.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnostic accuracy of conventional or age adjusted D-dimer cut-off values in older patients with suspected venous thromboembolism: systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: The application of age adjusted cut-off values for D-dimer tests substantially increases specificity without modifying sensitivity, thereby improving the clinical utility of D- dimer testing in patients aged 50 or more with a non-high clinical probability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance of 4 Clinical Decision Rules in the Diagnostic Management of Acute Pulmonary Embolism: A Prospective Cohort Study

TL;DR: All 4 CDRs show similar performance for exclusion of acute PE in combination with a normal d-dimer result, and prospective validation indicates that the simplified scores may be used in clinical practice.
