Ultrasound imaging appears to have only a moderate sensitivity and positive predictive value in screening for deep vein thrombosis in asymptomatic postoperative patients.
A systematic review including 16 studies (11 of high quality) was abstracted in DARE. Standard contrast venography was the gold standard in all studies. In the high quality studies ultrasonography had a sensitivity of 62% (95 of 153, 95% CI 54% to 70%), a specificity of 97% (CI 96% to 98%) and a positive predictive value of 66%. For studies of lower quality, the sensitivity was 95% and specificity 100%.
