DOI: 10.1111/ijlh.13294
Abstract: Dear Editor, The paper by Robertson et al1 (2020) is of great interest because a fundamental question concerning patients and haematologists after the initial 3-6 months of anticoagulation after an unprovoked venous thromboembolism (VTE) is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jth.13630
Abstract: Essentials Evidence for the simplified Wells rule in ruling out acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is scarce. This was a post‐hoc analysis on data from 6 studies comprising 7268 patients with suspected PE. The simplified Wells… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2022/6864756
Abstract: Background Recently, D-dimer has been suggested as a biomarker to rule out acute aortic syndrome (AAS). Since it increases with age, this study was conducted to reveal whether an age-adjusted D-dimer can increase diagnostic accuracy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1160/th17-03-0182
Abstract: Two new strategies for interpreting D-dimer results have been proposed: i) using a progressively higher D-dimer threshold with increasing age (age-adjusted strategy) and ii) using a D-dimer threshold in patients with low clinical probability that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1182/blood-2018-99-113831
Abstract: Background Together with clinical decision rules, D-dimer testing has long been the mainstay of diagnostic work-up of suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Advantages of D-dimer measurement include wide availability, low costs and high sensitivity. Age-adjusted… read more here.

DOI: 10.1182/blood-2019-129185
Abstract: Background: Diagnosis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) uses biomarker D-dimer to exclude low probability VTE and imaging techniques to verify mid/high probability VTE. Plasma concentration of D-dimer increases with age in over 50 years and age-adjusted… read more here.
