D-Dimer Measured at Diagnosis of Venous Thromboembolism is Associated with Risk of Major Bleeding

Identification of patients at risk of major bleeding is pivotal for optimal management of anticoagulant therapy in venous thromboembolism (VTE). Studies have suggested that D-dimer may predict major bleeding during anticoagulation; however, this is scarcely investigated in VTE patients. We aimed to...
