Predictive value of pediatric thrombosis diagnoses in the Danish National Patient Registry.

Data on the validity of pediatric thrombosis diagnoses are missing. We aimed to examine the predictive value of a diagnosis of venous and arterial thrombosis using the Danish National Patient Registry (DNPR). We identified all first-time diagnoses among children and adolescents (aged 0-18 years) between 1994 and 2006 in DNPR.
