Observational StudyPulmonary Embolism Risk Assessment in Acute Isolated Distal Deep Venous Thrombosis.
The clinical risk factors and risk of developing pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with acute isolated distal deep venous thrombosis (IDDVT) were assessed using single complete-duplex ultrasound (CDUS) imaging to reduce over-testing and over-treatment. This observational study was conducted from January 2020 to December 2022. Retrospective analysis was performed on CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA), blood coagulation markers, myocardial injury markers, blood gas analysis, and CDUS imaging of the lower extremity blood vessels of 146 patients with newly diagnosed IDDVT. ⋯ The combined prediction model achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.832 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.761, 0.902]. By balancing the sensitivity and specificity of DD, combined single CDUS improves the predictive value for PE in patients with IDDVT.
