Although a negative D-Dimer in conjunction with a clinical probability score can be effective at excluding DVT/PE, studies have proposed that the use of an age-adjusted cut off can increase the number of patients excluded from further testing with a low likelihood of subsequent VTE.This study looked at unselected D-dimer requests from the Emergency department (ED) for patients with suspected DVT/PE to assess the potential impact of introducing age-adjusted D-dimer cut off limits.
