Baseline Characteristics for VTE Prognosis Meta-Analysis

48 articles from a systematic review provide data on D-dimer and lower limb ultrasonography as prognostic factors for recurrent venous thromboembolism. The dataset includes pooled analysis results, such as an odds ratio of 2.48 for positive D-dimer and 2.00 for residual vein thrombosis. It was authored by Sebastián Salinas-Mendoza and last updated on May 15, 2026.

Use Cases

• Assessing the association between residual vein thrombosis and VTE recurrence risk based on pooled odds ratios
• Evaluating post-treatment D-dimer levels as a prognostic marker for recurrent VTE
• Conducting meta-analyses on prognostic factors in venous thromboembolic disease
• Informing clinical guidelines on the use of biomarkers for anticoagulation therapy decisions

Strengths

• Data is derived from a systematic review of 48 articles, providing a synthesized evidence base
• Includes specific quantitative results like pooled odds ratios with confidence intervals (e.g., OR 2.48, 95% CI 1.85–3.33)
• The review process involved independent screening by two reviewers using a structured framework (PROSPERO ID: CRD42022341082)

Limitations

• The evidence certainty is described as 'very low' due to significant heterogeneity (I² up to 85.7%) and wide prediction intervals
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
