Venous thromboembolism in pediatric trauma patients: Ten‐year experience and long‐term follow‐up in a tertiary care center

Abstract

TBI therapy is closely linked to the development of DVT. Coagulopathy on admission is associated with hypercoagulability in the postinjury period, suggesting a patient phenotype with systemic coagulation dysregulation. Treatment was not associated with improved VTE outcomes, suggesting that pediatric protocols should emphasize VTE prevention and prophylaxis strategies.
