Article Synopsis
- * Follow-up showed that most positive aPL were transient or low titer, while 10% met criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), which was linked to a significantly higher risk of recurrent VTE.
- * The research highlights the need for further studies on managing VTE in children, particularly for those diagnosed with APS, given their higher recurrence risk.
Background: A rise in hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) in children has led to increased awareness regarding VTE prophylaxis and risk assessment. Despite no consensus exists regarding these practices in pediatrics.
Objective: To describe common practices in VTE prophylaxis, VTE risk assessment models, and anticoagulation dosing strategies in pediatric hospitals that are members of the Children's Hospital Acquired Thrombosis (CHAT) Consortium.
