Abstract

Introduction

D-dimer assay, generally evaluated according to cutoff points calibrated for VTE exclusion, is used to estimate the individual risk of recurrence after a first idiopathic event of venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Methods

Commercial D-dimer assays, evaluated according to predetermined cutoff levels for each assay, specific for age (lower in subjects
