Characteristics of Upper and Lower Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis and Predictors of Post-Thrombotic Syndrome in Children

Abstract: Background/aims: Our understanding of predictors of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) in children is evolving. The present study aimed to investigate differences in patient- and DVT-related characteristics between central venous catheter (CVC) and non-CVC-related thrombosis in children and to study early PTS predictors. Methods: Children aged 0-18 years were recruited ≥6 months after imaging-proven upper (UE) or lower extremity (LE) DVT. PTS was measured using CAPTSure©. Early predictors included age at DVT diagn… Show more

“…Median age at enrollment of the entire cohort was 13 years (25th-75th percentile 8-15 years); 53% (24/45) were male patients. Patients were enrolled in the study at a median of 6 years (25th-75th percentile 1-10 years) post-DVT diagnosis, which is in line with previous reports [1][2][3] suggesting that long-term follow-up of children with DVT to screen for PTS is warranted.…”

“…Median CAPTSure © score at enrollment was 31 points (25th–75th percentile 21–45). Of note, a CAPTSure © score ≥31 points represents moderate to severe PTS 3 . Median PODCI global functioning score at the time of enrollment was 88 points (25th–75th percentile 89–94 points), which is below the mean scores reported in healthy children (95–96 points, standard deviation 4–7 points) and below the median scores of children with limb DVT (94 points, 25th–75th percentile 87–98, in children with CVC‐related thrombosis and 97 points, 25th–75th percentile 92–99, in children with non‐CVC‐related thrombosis 3 ).…”
