Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare two diagnostic interventions to improve the way D-dimer blood testing MDA D-dimer is used to diagnose first time symptomatic deep vein thrombosis
Detailed Description: Limiting use of D-dimer testing to outpatients with a Low or Moderate clinical pretest probability C-PTPfor deep vein thrombosis AND using a D-dimer level of 10 µg FEUmL to exclude deep vein thrombosis in those with a Low C-PTP and a D-dimer level of 05 µg FEUmL to exclude deep vein thrombosis in those with a Moderate C-PTP is as safe and a more efficient way to diagnose DVT than
Performing D-dimer testing in all patients with suspected deep vein thrombosis with use of a single D-dimer value of 05 µg FEUmL to exclude thrombosis current practice

All randomized patients including those who are treated for deep vein thrombosis after initial testing will be followed for a period of 3 months to monitor for signs and symptoms suggestive of deep vein thrombosis pulmonary embolism bleeds and death
