Associations between D-dimer and outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remain controversial. Using age-adjusted D-dimer cutoff thresholds improve the diagnostic accuracy for thrombotic diseases. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of age-adjusted D-dimer in ACS patients treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
