Early diagnosis of pulmonary embolism can reduce morbidity and motility. D-dimer is well known parameter having high negative prediction value. This study focused on role of D-dimer in early prediction of presence and severity of pulmonary embolism.
Thirty patients with clinical suspicion of pulmonary embolism along with high D-dimer value were included in this study. All selected patients underwent computed tomography pulmonary angiography assessment. D- dimer value was correlated with presence and proximity of pulmonary embolism.
Out of thirty selected patients 50% had pulmonary embolism on computed tomography pulmonary angiography assessment. D-dimer value correlated well with presence and proximity of pulmonary embolism.
D-dimer value more than 4000 ng/ml had high positive prediction value (79%) in suspected clinical cases. Value more than 8000 ng/ml further improve value to nearly 100% in suspected cases.
肺栓塞的早期诊断可降低发病率和死亡率。D-二聚体是一个众所周知的参数,具有较高的阴性预测价值。本研究聚焦于D-二聚体在早期预测肺栓塞的存在及严重程度方面的作用。
本研究纳入了30例临床怀疑肺栓塞且D-二聚体值较高的患者。所有入选患者均接受了计算机断层扫描肺动脉造影评估。D-二聚体值与肺栓塞的存在及程度相关。
在30例入选患者中,50%在计算机断层扫描肺动脉造影评估中存在肺栓塞。D-二聚体值与肺栓塞的存在及程度相关性良好。
在疑似临床病例中,D-二聚体值超过4000 ng/ml具有较高的阳性预测价值(79%)。在疑似病例中,超过8000 ng/ml的值可将预测价值进一步提高至近100%。
