Qualitative point-of-care D-dimer testing compared with quantitative D-dimer testing in excluding pulmonary embolism in primary care.
BACKGROUND General practitioners can safely exclude pulmonary embolism (PE) by using the Wells PE rule combined with D-dimer testing. OBJECTIVE To compare the accuracy of a strategy using the Wells rule combined with either a qualitative point-of-care (POC) D-dimer test performed in primary care or a quantitative laboratory-based D-dimer test. METHODS We used data from a prospective cohort ...
متن کاملPoint of Care D-Dimer Testing in the Emergency Department: A Bioequivalence Study
BACKGROUND D-dimer is used widely as a diagnostic aid in low- and moderate-risk patients with suspected venous thromboembolism (VTE). While our laboratory utilizes VIDAS D-dimer analyzer (bioMérieux SA, France), our emergency department (ED) recently procured a D-dimer analyzer AQT90 FLEX (Radiometer Medical ApS, Denmark) for point of care testing (POCT) to facilitate patient management. We aim...
متن کاملComments on Point of Care D-Dimer Testing in the Emergency Department: A Bioequivalence Study
Dear Editor We read with interest the article “Point of Care D-Dimer Testing in the Emergency Department: A Bioequivalence Study” by Perveen et al. published in Ann Lab Med 2013;33:34-38 [1]. In this article, the authors compared the performance of the D-dimer assays on the AQT90 FLEX analyzer (Radiometer Medical Aps, Åkandevej, Denmark) and the VIDAS analyzer (bioMérieux SA, RCS Lyon, France)....
متن کاملD-dimer testing in pregnancy.
During pregnancy, elevated markers of coagulation and fibrinolytic system activation, such as D-Dimer, indicate increased thrombin activity and increased fibrinolysis following fibrin formation. Testing for D-Dimer during pregnancy could therefore be useful for the diagnosis and prediction of a venous thromboembolic event (VTE) or pregnancy-related complications, and for monitoring antithrombot...
متن کاملAnalytical and clinical validation of a new point-of-care testing system for determination of D-Dimer in human blood.
D-Dimer testing is used for exclusion of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). AQT90 FLEX D-Dimer (AQT D-Dimer) is a novel time-resolved fluorescence based point-of-care test for quantification of D-Dimer in whole blood or plasma. Presently we have determined the analytical and clinical performance of AQT D-Dimer and compared it with four routine D-Dimer assays. The within-run CV of AQT D-Dimer was 3.8...
