Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Enoxaparin Once-Daily Versus Twice-Daily Dosing for Prophylaxis in Pediatric Patients.

Objectives: Enoxaparin for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in pediatric patients is -typically dosed twice a day. The use of once-daily dosing like that used in adult patients is limited because of a lack of safety and efficacy data. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of -once-daily versus twice-daily dosing of enoxaparin for pediatric VTE prophylaxis based on incidence of thrombotic and bleeding events.

Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Gene Variants in Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children.

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) affects few children previously infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In 2020, 45 children admitted to our hospital for MIS-C underwent genetic screening with a commercial 109-immune-gene panel. Thirty-nine children were diagnosed with MIS-C, and 25.

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and the prothrombotic state: Coagulation profiles and rotational thromboelastometry in a MIS-C cohort.

Background: Adults infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have had high rates of thrombosis. A novel condition in children infected with SARS-CoV-2, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), has limited data on their prothrombotic state or need for thromboprophylaxis.

Objectives: We aimed to analyze the prothrombotic state using coagulation profiles, rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) parameters and clinical outcomes, to determine if this could aid in risk stratification for thromboprophylaxis.
