Cross-linked fibrin degradation products have been used to detect venous thrombosis. While the sensitivity of plasma D-dimer measured by ELISA in the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is high, the utility of ELISA methods is limited in a clinical setting. This study analysed the diagnostic value of a rapid D-dimer assay performed on whole blood samples (SimpliRed D-dimer) compared with latex and ELISA in 86 patients suspected of having DVT. SimpliRed D-dimer was positive in 47/50 of patients with DVT established by Doppler ultrasound (DU; sensitivity 94%). SimpliRed D-dimer was positive in 35/37 of patients with proximal DVT, nine out of nine with popliteal DVT and three out of four with superficial thrombophlebitis. The specificity of SimpliRed D-dimer in the diagnosis of DVT was 61%. The sensitivity of the SimpliRed D-dimer assay was at least comparable with the ELISA (87%) and superior to the latex assay (80%). The positive predictive value (77%), the negative predictive value (88%) and the overall accuracy (80%) of the SimpliRed assay were better than the ELISA and latex methods. It is concluded that SimpliRed D-dimer is a rapid useful assay for screening of patients suspected of having deep vein thrombosis.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
