Venous thromboembolism (VTE) in pediatric trauma patients is under-investigated. The purpose of this study was to perform an evaluation of the risk factors for VTE after pediatric trauma, including readmissions across the United States. The Nationwide Readmissions Database for 2016-2020 was queried for all patients under the age of 18 years admitted for trauma. 276 670 patients were identified; 2063 (.8%) were diagnosed with VTE. Among those with VTE, 300 (15%) were identified during a readmission. Higher rates of VTE were seen in ages 15-17 years (n = 1,294, 1.3%, < .001), penetrating injuries (n = 478, .9%, < .001), and assault (n = 271, 2.7%, < .001). The strongest risk factor for VTE was prolonged mechanical ventilation (OR 5.5 [4.9-6.3] < .001). Our study found that a significant portion of post-traumatic VTE in children and teenagers occur during readmissions. A deeper understanding of the risk factors outlined here can guide enhanced clinical protocols, ensuring early detection and prevention of this complication.

Background: Although drug interactions between clarithromycin/erythromycin/fluconazole and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are mechanistically plausible, it is uncertain whether they are clinically relevant.
Objective: To investigate the association between co-prescribed DOACs and antimicrobials and bleeding, cardiovascular disease and mortality.
Methods: We identified DOAC users in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink Aurum from 1/1/2011-29/3/2021.

The purpose of this study is to (1) estimate and compare the prevalence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in children (age 0 to ≤21) with versus without cystic fibrosis (CF); (2) investigate putative associations between specific gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations and the development of VTE among children with CF. This was a multicenter case-control analysis among patients aged 0 to ≤ 21 years between 2010 and 2020, using the TriNetX Research Network. Data queries included ICD-9/10 (International Classification of Diseases-9th/10th Revision) diagnosis codes.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), consisting of both deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is an extremely common condition both in the United States and worldwide. Not only is the diagnosis associated with significant morbidity and mortality for patients, but also it imposes a deleterious financial burden on the US healthcare system. Diagnosis may be challenging due to variability in clinical presentation and requires a sequential workup including assessment of clinical pretest probability for VTE, D-dimer testing, and imaging.

Background Obesity is postulated to be a high-risk factor for thrombosis along with the inherent hypercoagulability of pregnancy. The Confidential Review of Maternal Deaths (CRMD) found that thrombosis was one of the major causes of maternal deaths in Kerala. This study investigates the major risk factor - obesity and its association with thrombosis in our study setting, along with other risk factors.
