研究概览

简要总结

Deep vein thrombosis is a common condition seen in the Emergency Department. Standard of care for diagnosis of DVT includes a combination of a clinical pre-test probability rule known as Well's criteria, D-dimer blood testing, and Radiology department ultrasound.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Emergency Physicians can safely rule out deep vein thrombosis using Well's criteria and D-dimer blood testing combined with Emergency department bedside ultrasound.

入选标准

  • Age > 16 years
  • Clinically suspected lower extremity DVT

排除标准

  • Known chronic DVT
  • Acute DVT confirmed by prior formal imaging
  • Inability to assess common femoral or popliteal area (due to cast, above knee amputation, etc.)
  • Anticoagulation >48 hours prior to imaging (formal or LCU)

结局指标

主要结局

First co-primary outcome: sensitivity/specificity of LC U/S vs D-dimer in clinically "unlikely" DVT patients.

时间窗: 3 days

Second co-primary outcome: sensitivity/specificity of LC U/S plus D-dimer vs formal ultrasound in clinically "likely" DVT patients.

时间窗: 3 days

次要结局

  • interobserver reliability of modified Well's criteria(3 days)
  • learning curve for LC U/S by emergency physicians and residents(365 days)
  • difference in diagnostic time interval for patients grouped by pre-test probability(3 days)
  • number of return visits for formal ultrasound imaging(3 days)
  • number of patients receiving empirical anticoagulation while formal ultrasound imaging is pending(3 days)
