Article Synopsis
- The study investigated whether low to intermediate clinical risk and a negative D-dimer test could negate the need for duplex ultrasonography in diagnosing acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
- Among 336 patients, the findings showed that well-defined clinical risk levels combined with D-dimer tests had high sensitivity and negative predictive values (NPV) for detecting DVT.
- The results suggest that using this combination of assessments may eliminate the need for ultrasound in patients identified as having low to intermediate risk for acute DVT.
