Point-of-care D-dimer testing — both qualitative and quantitative — safely ruled out venous thromboembolism in low-risk outpatients, according to data from a meta-analysis. The ...

Combining the Wells rule and a POC yielded a sensitivity and specificity of 94.5% and 51.0%, respectively, which when combined with a quantitative test changed to 98.6% and 47.2%, respectively.

The quantitative test and POC test missed one (0.4 percent) and four patients (1.5 percent), respectively, with a negative strategy (Wells ≤4 points and D-dimer test negative; P = 0.20).

D-dimer Testing industry is projected to witness a CAGR of 4.3% during the period 2023-2032. This growth can be attributed to Increasing demand for next-generation point-of-care (POC) D-dimer ...

This diagnostic management strategy in primary care, including a point-of-care D-dimer assay, reduced the need for referral of patients with clinically suspected deep vein thrombosis by almost 50%.

Radiometer Limited’s AQT90 FLEX analysers have been used in a successful trial to asses D-dimer point-of-care testing (POCT) for suspected lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The editorial piece, ...

For gestalt, low risk was indicated by a probability of less than 20 percent plus a negative point-of-care D-dimer test. A score of 4 or lower on the Wells rule plus a negative D-dimer test ...

A new study investigating D-dimer testing in patients who are at higher risk of pulmonary embolism (PE) has been published in the February issue of Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM), the peer ...
