BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious complication following
total joint replacement. The use of rivaroxaban, a highly selective and direct
factor Xa inhibitor, has been used widely as a safe and efficacious way to
prevent VTE after total joint replacements. However, little is known about the
diagnostic efficacy of plasma D-dimer test on deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in
patients using rivaroxaban for thromboprophylaxis. The study is aimed to
investigate the trend and the diagnostic efficacy of D-dimer test on DVT in
patients with primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using rivaroxaban for
thromboprophylaxis. METHODS: Two hundred TKA patients using rivaroxaban
postoperatively as chemical prophylaxis were reviewed. D-dimer levels were
checked at 4 h after the surgery and on postoperative days 1 and 4. Venography
was used to document the presence of DVT. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to
detect the differences in the D-dimer levels at different time points in patients
with and without DVT, followed by Bonferroni corrections for p values. Receiver
operating characteristics (ROC) curves were constructed to determine the best
cutoff values of the D-dimer test at each time point after the surgery. RESULTS:
Twenty-nine of the 200 patients were found to have deep vein thrombosis by
venography, resulting in an incidence of 14.5%. All patients with DVTs occurred
in the distal calf veins, and only one patient was symptomatic. We found
significant differences in D-dimer concentration between patients with and
without DVT at postoperative day 4. The best cutoff value determined by receiver
operating characteristics analysis was 3.8 mg/L at postoperative day 4, with an
AUC equal to 63.5%, and a sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of 58.6, 76,
29.3, and 91.5%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Rivaroxaban was effective on reducing
DVT in patients undergoing TKA. Because all the DVTs occurred in the leg veins,
decreased thrombus volume and size might result in poor accuracy of plasma
D-dimer test in prediction or diagnosis of postoperative DVT.
