Noninvasive Diagnosis of Deep Venous Thrombosis
@article{Kearon1998NoninvasiveDO, title={Noninvasive Diagnosis of Deep Venous Thrombosis}, author={C. Kearon and J. Julian and M. Math and T. Newman and J. Ginsberg}, journal={Annals of Internal Medicine}, year={1998}, volume={128}, pages={663-677} }
Deep venous thrombosis affects approximately 84 persons per 100 000 each year [1]. For each person with confirmed deep venous thrombosis, the diagnosis is excluded in approximately 3 others. This suggests that more than 1 million patients are investigated for suspected deep venous thrombosis in North America annually. Objective testing for deep venous thrombosis is crucial because clinical assessment alone is unreliable [2-5], because undiagnosed deep venous thrombosis can cause fatal pulmonary… CONTINUE READING
