Does D-dimer testing accurately detect DVT in pregnant women with threatened premature delivery and abortion?
Effect estimate: Sensitivity 100%, Specificity 85%
A D-dimer cutoff of 4.8 μg/mL provides high sensitivity and specificity for detecting DVT in pregnant women hospitalized for threatened premature delivery and abortion.
Kawauchi et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Threatened premature delivery and abortion (n=335). D-dimer test (cutoff 4.8 μg/mL) was evaluated on Detection of deep venous thrombosis (Sensitivity 100%, Specificity 85%). A D-dimer cutoff value of 4.8 μg/mL demonstrated 100% sensitivity and 85% specificity for detecting deep venous thrombosis in pregnant women with threatened premature delivery and abortion.
