  • Title: Comparison of the diagnostic performance of three soluble fibrin monomer tests and a D-dimer assay in patients with clinically suspected deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs.
    Author: Elias A, Cazanave G, Nguyen F, Elias M, Bongard V, Cambus JP.
    Journal: Haematologica; 2004 Apr; 89(4):499-501. PubMed ID: 15075088.
    Abstract:
    We assessed three soluble fibrin monomer (SFM) assays in 231 in and out-patients with clinically suspected deep-vein thrombosis. Thrombosis was confirmed or excluded by complete lower-limb ultrasound. SFM assay were less accurate than VIDAS D-dimer and in patients with small thrombosis or under anticoagulation. Specificity was lower for a similar sensitivity.
