In this episode of CLOT Conversations, Dr. Gregoire Le Gal, University of Ottawa, in an interview with Dr Vicky Mai, shares insights from his groundbreaking study on age-adjusted D-dimer cutoffs for diagnosing deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Previously validated for pulmonary embolism (PE), this new approach significantly improves DVT diagnostics. By adjusting D-dimer thresholds based on patient age, the study found a safe and reliable method to rule out DVT without reliance on additional imaging. Though results showed a smaller incremental increase in negative D-dimer results compared to PE, the safety of the approach was confirmed. This research simplifies DVT diagnostics, making it easier for clinicians, especially in emergency settings.
