Hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism among critically ill children with diabetic ketoacidosis: a multicenter, retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Critically ill children and young adults with diabetic ketoacidosis are thought to be in a prothrombotic state. However, the rate of hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism and associated risk factors in this population have not been identified.

Objectives

Children hospitalized for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) may be at increased risk of hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE). We sought to estimate the incidence of HA-VTE and identify unique prothrombotic risk factors in this population.

Methods

We performed a multicenter, retrospective cohort study using the Pediatric Health Information Systems registry including patients aged 0 to 21 years hospitalized for DKA from January 2017 to December 2023 within 48 participating centers. The primary outco
