Figure 1 Profiles of patients with hepatectomy who were analyzed in this cohort.
VTE: Venous thromboembolism.
Figure 2 Plasma D-dimer levels gradually increased from preoperative values to the values on postoperative day 1, 3, 5, and 7 in each group.
A and B: Plasma D-dimer levels on postoperative day 1, 3, 5, and 7 were significantly higher in patients with VTE (+) (A) than in those without VTE (-) (B). POD: Postoperative day.
Figure 3 Receiver operating characteristic analysis to set a cutoff value of D-dimer levels to detect venous thromboembolism.
Postoperative day (POD) 1: Cutoff value of D-dimer is 6 μg/mL, area under the curve (AUC) 0.73; POD 3: Cutoff value of D-dimer is 10 μg/mL, AUC 0.77; POD 5: Cutoff value of D-dimer is 21 μg/mL, AUC 0.84; POD7: Cutoff value of D-dimer is 20 μg/mL, AUC 0.80. POD: Postoperative day; AUC: Area under the curve.
