Diagnosis of Pulmonary #Embolism with d-#Dimer Adjusted to Clinical Probability
Retrospective analyses suggest that pulmonary embolism is ruled out by a d-dimer level of less than 1000 ng per milliliter in patients with a low clinical pretest probability (C-PTP) and by a d-dimer level of less than 500 ng per milliliter in patients with a moderate C-PTP ..We performed a prospective study in which pulmonary …
