Sir,
We appreciate the interest of Dr. Skaik, on our paper and would offer the following clarifications. In this article, we have reported our experience of D-dimer in 26 patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) from a single center. This was not a randomized controlled trial however, the CVST project was done under the Council of Science and Technology, Uttar Pradesh, India. Barthel index is a scale for activities of daily living and is unlikely to depend on sample size. D-dimer estimation is routinely performed in our institute using standard method. The technician is provided the coded blood samples and he is not aware of clinical diagnosis.
