Ultrasound-sparing Strategy for Suspected DVT: A Prospective Clinical Cohort Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Comprehensive Duplex Ultrasound (diagnostic study) for Deep Vein Thrombosis. Completed, enrolled 199 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
To determine the rate of thromboembolic complications (including death attributed to thromboembolic disease) in patients with a score rated as "DVT likely" on a formalized scoring system, when anticoagulation therapy is withheld on the basis of a negative comprehensive duplex ultrasound examination. Participants are followed for three months after a normal ultrasound to determine if any symptoms attributable to deep vein thrombosis develop. Any such symptoms are verified by objective tests.
