Pediatric Venous Thromboembolism
Conditions
Brief summary
This project addresses the role of lab markers around the time of central line placement in predicting risk of thrombosis in pediatric patients with central venous lines being placed. The project proposes an innovative way to predict higher risk of thrombosis in the pediatric population to give clinicians a valid tool to guide clinical practice for these patients.
Interventions
We will collect blood samples/biomarkers at the time of enrollment.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Thrombosis | within one year of enrollment | Patients will be enrolled during the time of central line placements and labs would be drawn during line placement. Patients will be followed prospectively for a catheter related t thrombosis event or not. Lab markers and clinical states of patients who develop or do not develop a thrombosis will be analyzed |
