Safety of a Diagnostic Strategy With D-Dimer Testing for PE

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

To determine whether D-Dimer testing, using the MDA D-Dimer assay, can be used to simplify the diagnostic process for pulmonary embolism (PE). This will be assessed by performing a cohort study in 1000 patients with suspected PE.

To ascertain if an MDA D-Dimer result of less than 0.75 ug/mL FEU obviates the need for further testing and therapy in patients with suspected PE.

Clinical Trial Description

Prospective cohort study of 1000 patients in which those with a negative D-Dimer result undergo no further testing and are followed for 3 months for venous thromboembolism. Patients with a positive D-Dimer undergo standardized testing. ;
