- The study evaluated the rates of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in low-risk emergency department patients based on D-dimer levels, hypothesizing that those with levels below 500 ng/mL would have an event rate of less than 1%.
- A total of 1,270 patients were analyzed, revealing 39.1% had D-dimer levels under 200 ng/mL, and 37.7% had levels between 200 and 500 ng/mL, with no VTE events in levels under 200 ng/mL.
- Results indicated that only 4 out of 479 patients with D-dimer levels between 200 and 500 ng/mL were diagnosed with VTE, demonstrating a
