Turbidimetric D-dimer test in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism: a metaanalysis.
BACKGROUND Clinicians in outpatient clinics and emergency departments desire an accurate quantitative D-dimer assay. The study objective was to evaluate the diagnostic performance characteristics of the latex turbidimetric D-dimer test in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) in the emergency department population. METHODS We conducted a search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and bibliographies of pre...
متن کامل[D-dimer in diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary embolism].
D-dimer level estimation, specific fibrin degradation product, is a permanent part of diagnostic strategies of pulmonary embolism (PE). Approximately 30% of a suspected non-high risk PE can be ruled out with high sensitive D-dimer test when pre-test clinical probability is non-high. Recent guidelines underline that only very sensitive DD assays can be used. The main limitation of DD tests is re...

متن کاملApplication of a decision rule and a D-dimer assay in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.
Current strategies for diagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) include a clinical decision rule (CDR), followed by a D-dimer assay in patients with an unlikely clinical probability. We assessed the implementation of the current guidelines for the diagnosis of PE. A first questionnaire was sent to internists and pulmonologists to assess the proportion of physicians that adequately applied the guideli...
