D-dimer is Valuable for Predicting the Extension of Isolated Distal Deep Vein Thrombosis of the Lower Limb in Neurocritical Patients: A Retrospective Observational Study
Abstract:Background: Isolated distal deep vein thrombosis (IDDVT) of the lower limb and its extension to the proximal deep veins have high incidence rates in patients with acute brain injury (ABI). The objective of the study was to determine the value of dynamic changes in coagulation function in predicting the occurrence and extension of IDDVT.Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, ABI patients during the perioperative period in a neurocritical care unit (NICU) of a university hospital were identified from Septe… Show more
