Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine if D-dimer levels can effectively predict the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in hospitalized patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), comparing it to the Padua Prediction Score (PPS).
- - Researchers enrolled 4,468 AECOPD patients from seven medical centers, finding that 2.01% developed VTE within two months; results showed D-dimer had a significantly higher predictive value than PPS for VTE risk.
- - The study concluded that D-dimer is a more reliable tool for predicting VTE than PPS, suggesting its use could improve thromboprophylaxis strategies in patients with AECOPD
