SummaryThis study was performed to determine the accuracy of D-Dimer fibrin derivatives, thrombin-antithrombin III (TAT) complexes and prothrombin fragments 1 + 2 (F 1 + 2) determinations for the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). One hundred and sixteen consecutive patients referred to the angiology unit of our hospital for a clinically suspected DVT were investigated. They were submitted to mercury strain gauge plethysmography and to ultrasonic duplex scanning examination; in cases of inconclusive results or of proximal DVT (n = 35), an ascending phlebography was performed. After these investigations were completed, the diagnosis of DVT was confirmed in 34 and excluded in 82. One half of the patients were already under anticoagulant therapy at the time of investigation. The 3 biological markers were assayed using commercially available ELISA techniques and the D-Dimer was also assayed with a fast latex method. The normal distribution of these markers was established in 40 healthy blood donors. The most accurate assay for the diagnosis of DVT was the D-Dimer ELISA which had both a high sensitivity (94%) and a high negative predictive value (95%). The D-Dirner latex, TAT complexes and F 1 + 2 were far less sensitive and provided negative predictive values which ranged between 78 and 85%. In spite of positive and significant correlations between the levels of ihe 3 markers, their association did not improve their overall accuracy for detecting D\/L Therefore, with the exception of the D-Dimer ELISA, these markers were of little value for the diagnosis of DVT in this specific population.

Abstract Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of D-dimer, ESR and CRP in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of lower extremity after hip and knee replacement.Methods: Clinical data of 216 patients who underwent hip and knee replacement in our hospital from January 2018 to November 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, there were 86 patients with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis and 130 patients without lower extremity deep vein thrombosis. Preoperative blood D-dimer, prothrombin time, fibrinogen content, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin and hemoglobin levels were collected. Chi-square test was used to compare the rate of deep vein thrombosis in lower limbs. The PSM propensity score matching method was used to select 86 patients from 130 patients without lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) as control group. The levels of D-dimer, albumin and hemoglobin in 172 patients were compared, and the diagnostic efficacy of D-dimer, ESR and CRP in the diagnosis of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis after hip and knee replacement was analyzed by ROC curve.Results: ROC curve analysis results showed that: The optimal cut-off values of D-dimer, prothrombin time, ESR, CRP and age for the diagnosis of DVT of lower extremity after hip replacement were 1.745mg/L, 10.850s, 15.500mm/h, 2.375mg/L and 72 years old, respectively. The sensitivity was 71.8%, 66.7%, 61.5%, 94.9%, 71.8%, the specificity was 74.1%, 66.7%, 70.4%, 33.3%, 100%, and the area under the curve was 0.746, 0.683, 0.658, 0.651, 0.869. The optimal truncation value of D-dimer for the diagnosis of DVT of lower extremity after knee replacement was 0.285mg/L, the sensitivity was 78.7%, the specificity was 44.1%, and the area under the curve was 0.622.Conclusion: The diagnostic value of D-dimer in the formation of lower extremity DVT after knee arthroplasty is higher than that after hip arthroplasty, but the diagnostic value of prothrombin time, ESR, CRP and age in the formation of lower extremity DVT after hip arthroplasty is higher than that after knee arthroplasty.

SummaryThe sensitivity and specificity for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of a new rapid, quantitative and precise (total imprecision < 10%) D-dimer assay suitable for individual measurements (VIDAS D-DIMER, bio-Merieux, France) were evaluated in a consecutive series of 103 in- and out-patients submitted to serial compression ultrasonography (C-US) for the clinical suspicion of DVT (n = 66) or of DVT recurrence (n = 37) and symptoms lasting from 1 to 15 days. DVT was found in 22 patients at baseline testing and no patient with an initially negative C-US developed vein incompressibility at follow up. The time elapsed from the onset of symptoms was negatively associated with D-dimer levels both in patients with and in those without DVT. In the entire series of patients, the sensitivity of a positive D-dimer test (≥1.0 Μg/ml) for the presence of DVT was 96% (21/22 patients, 95% confidence interval 75-100%) with a specificity of 75% (64-84%), a negative predictive value of 98% (90-100%), a positive predictive value of 51% (35-67%), and an overall accuracy of 80% (70-87%). A normal D-dimer value (0.22 Μg/ml) was observed in one patient with DVT and symptoms lasting from 15 days. The approach of withholding C-US testing in patients with symptoms lasting from less than 11 days and D-dimer levels below the cut-off value was compared to serial C-US testing alone in a cost-effectiveness analysis subdividing the 66 patients with a first episode according to their clinical pretest probability of DVT. Thrombosis was detected in 6.7% of the patients in the low probability group (n = 15), 16.7% of the patients in the moderate probability group (n = 24), 51.9% of the patients in the high probability group (n = 27) and 8.1% of patients with suspected DVT recurrence. Calculated cost-savings for each DVT diagnosed ranged from 5% in the high pretest probability group to 55% in the low pretest probability group and to 77% in patients with suspected DVT recurrence.The safety of avoiding C-US testing in symptomatic patients with a negative D-dimer test should be evaluated in clinical management studies.

SummaryThe current D-Dimer ELISA methods provide high sensitivity and negative predictive value for the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis but these methods are not suitable for emergency or for individual determination. We have evaluated the performance of 3 newly available fast D-Dimer assays (Vidas D-Di, BioMerieux; Instant IA D-Di, Stago; Nycocard D-Dimer, Nycomed) in comparison with 3 classic ELISA methods (Stago, Organon, Behring) and a Latex agglutination technique (Stago). One-hundred-and-seventy-one patients suspected of presenting a first episode of deep vein thrombosis were investigated. A deep vein thrombosis was detected in 75 patients (43.8%) by ultrasonic duplex scanning of the lower limbs; in 11 of them the thrombi were distal and very limited in size (<2 cm). We compared the performance of the tests by calculating their sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value for different cut-off levels and by calculating the area under ROC curves. The concordance of the different methods was evaluated by calculating the kappa coefficient. The performances of the 3 classic ELISA and of the Vidas D-Di were comparable and kappa coefficients indicated a good concordance between the results provided by these assays. Their sensitivity slightly declined for detection of the very small thrombi. Instant IA D-Di had a non-significantly lower sensitivity and negative predictive value than the 4 previous assays; however its performance was excellent for out-patients. As expected, the Latex assay had too low a sensitivity and negative predictive value to be recommended. In our hands, Nycocard D-Dimer also exhibited low sensitivity and negative predictive value, which were significantly improved when the plasma samples were tested by the manufacturer. Thus significant progress has been made, allowing clinical studies to be planned to compare the safety and cost-effectiveness of D-Dimer strategy to those of the conventional methods for the diagnosis of venous thrombosis.
