Hospital-Acquired Venous Thromboembolism and Invasive Mechanical Ventilation: A Report From the Children's Hospital Acquired Thrombosis Consortium.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To determine if the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) was associated with hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) among critically ill children.

Design

A multicenter, matched case-control study as a secondary analysis of Children's Hospital Acquired Thrombosis (CHAT) Consortium registry.

Setting

PICUs within U.S. CHAT Consortium participating centers.

Patients

Children younger than 21 years old admitted to a PICU receiving IMV for greater than or equal to 1 day duration from January 2012 to March 2022 were included for study. Cases with HA-VTE were matched 1:2 to controls without HA-VTE by patient age groups: younger than 1, 1-12, and older than 12 years.

Interventions

None.
