[23] Age-Adjusted D-Dimer Cut Off: Could this prove cost-effective and safe for our Emergency Units? Authors: Mills M, Downey C, Townley S, Kasis A, Dutt T, Gautam M. Introduction: A D-dimer test result (conventionally up to 500 μg/L) is an important component of the diagnostic work-up for patients with suspected VTE, however, it is well known that D-Dimer levels rise with age. Although a negative D-Dimer in conjunction with a clinical probability score can be effective at excluding DVT/PE, studies have proposed that the use of an age-adjusted cut off can increase the number of patients excluded from further testing with a low likelihood of subsequent VTE. This study looked at unselected D-dimer requests from the Emergency department (ED) for patients with suspected DVT/PE to assess the potential impact of introducing age-adjusted D-dimer cut off limits
