Thrombosis during infancy and childhood: what we know and what we do not know

Janna M Journeycake et al. Hematol Oncol Clin North Am. 2004 Dec.

Abstract

Despite underlying illnesses, children have a greater chance to survive and are expected to live 6 to 8 decades following an episode of venous or arterial thrombosis. The disproportionate benefits of preventing thrombosis and its sequelae in pediatric patients are evident. Therefore, it is necessary to develop appropriate strategies for diagnosis and management of thromboembolic events in children and to understand their acute and long-term effects. There still are many unanswered questions and clinical trials are being designed to help study these important issues.
