Diagnostic performance of D-dimer in predicting pulmonary embolism in tuberculous pleural effusion patients

Abstract Background Tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) patients usually have elevated D-dimer levels. The diagnostic performance of D-dimer in predicting pulmonary embolism (PE) in the TPE population is unclear. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of D-dimer for PE in the TPE popul...
