Kanis J, et al. - Researchers aspired to compute the diagnostic accuracy of D-dimer in children with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). Presently, D-dimer was indicated in children for suspected PE in the emergency care setting, mostly in teenagers. The observed lower limit 95% CIs of 89% and 54% for diagnostic sensitivity and the specificity, respectively, indicated that if used in patients with low-clinical probability, a normal D-dimer could assist in safely excluding PE in children.
