Thrombophilia states and markers of coagulation activation in the prediction of pediatric venous thromboembolic outcomes: a comparative analysis with respect to adult evidence.

Abstract excerpt

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) in children is an important clinical concern for which risk factors include clinical conditions that incite venous stasis, endothelial damage, or thrombophilia (i.e., hypercoagulability) states. Acquired thrombophilia and markers of coagulation activation are common in pediatric VTE, while potent genetic thrombophilia states are less frequently encountered; nevertheless, the latter...
