Exploring Patterns of D‐Dimer Assay Ordering at an Australian Rural Referral Hospital: A Retrospective Audit

Patterns of D-dimer ordering were variably aligned with guideline-recommended pathways, which may limit the clinical usefulness of the test in some cases. Improved documentation of pre-test probability and targeted education regarding appropriate test selection and interpretation may enhance the integration of D-dimer testing into diagnostic workflows.

Abstract

Patterns of D-dimer ordering were variably aligned with guideline-recommended pathways, which may limit the clinical usefulness of the test in some cases. Improved documentation of pre-test probability and targeted education regarding appropriate test selection and interpretation may enhance the integration of D-dimer testing into diagnostic workflows.
