Background: Critically ill children and young adults with diabetic ketoacidosis are thought to be in a prothrombotic state. However, the rate of hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism and associated risk factors in this population have not been identified.

Objectives: Children hospitalized for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) may be at increased risk of hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE).

Background: This study sought to estimate the overall cumulative incidence and odds of Hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (VTE) among critically ill children with and without exposure to invasive ventilation. In doing so, we also aimed to describe the temporal relationship between invasive ventilation and hospital-acquired VTE development.

Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study using Virtual Pediatric Systems (VPS) data from 142 North American pediatric ICUs among children < 18 y of age from January 1, 2016-December 31, 2022.

Objectives: To determine if the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) was associated with hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) among critically ill children.

Design: A multicenter, matched case-control study as a secondary analysis of Children's Hospital Acquired Thrombosis (CHAT) Consortium registry.

Setting: PICUs within U.

Background: Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) has been independently associated with hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) among critically ill children, including extremity deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

Objectives: We aimed to characterize the frequency and timing of HA-VTE following IMV exposure.

Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study including children aged <18 years, hospitalized in a pediatric intensive care unit, undergoing mechanical ventilation for >24 hours from October 2020 through April 2022.

Objectives: To estimate the occurrence of, and evaluate associations between, hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) and invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) among children hospitalized in the PICU.

Methods: We performed a multicenter, retrospective cohort study comparing HA-VTE frequencies among subjects <18 years of age hospitalized in the PICU from January 2018 through December 2019 among 47 participating centers, via the Pediatric Health Information Systems registry. We excluded perinatal encounters, those with VTE present at admission, and those with observational status.
