Does a D-dimer level of less than 250 ng/mL after withdrawal of oral anticoagulation predict a low risk of VTE recurrence in patients with a first spontaneous VTE?
A D-dimer level <250 ng/mL after stopping oral anticoagulation identifies patients with a first spontaneous VTE who are at low risk for recurrence.
Patients with a first spontaneous VTE and a D-dimer level of less than 250 ng/mL after withdrawal of oral anticoagulation have a low risk of VTE recurrence.
