Out With the Old, in With the New: Age‐Related D‐Dimer Thresholds

Age-adjusted D-dimer thresholds are recommended, provided they are combined with a validated clinical probability assessment tool, such as the two-level Wells score. This approach improves diagnostic specificity and may reduce unnecessary imaging, particularly in older adults.

Abstract

Age-adjusted D-dimer thresholds are recommended, provided they are combined with a validated clinical probability assessment tool, such as the two-level Wells score. This approach improves diagnostic specificity and may reduce unnecessary imaging, particularly in older adults.
