The AHA-proposed CRIS classification reclassified many cancer-associated strokes previously labeled cryptogenic and identified a subgroup with markedly worse survival, improving both etiologic clarity and prognostic stratification.
A prospective multicenter study demonstrates that using a single clinical question—whether pulmonary embolism is the most likely diagnosis—to adjust D-dimer thresholds can safely reduce chest imaging by 19% in emergency departments without
The ADJUST-DVT study confirms that an age-adjusted D-dimer cutoff (age × 10 µg/L) safely increases the number of patients in whom deep vein thrombosis can be ruled out without imaging, particularly benefiting patients over 75 years of age.
A retrospective study of 580 TTS patients demonstrates that admission D-dimer levels ≥3.5 µg/mL are associated with a seven-fold increase in in-hospital mortality, significantly improving the predictive accuracy of the traditional InterTAK
An 8.3% incidence of VTE was observed in newly diagnosed lymphoma patients in Vietnam, with pretreatment elevated D-dimer and cardiovascular comorbidities as key risk factors, emphasizing the need for tailored thromboprophylaxis.
