More infoThe aim of our study is to determine demographic data in patients with thrombosis in childhood to determine hereditary and/or acquired risk factors that cause thrombosis, to diagnose and treat thrombosis, to detect the complications related to thrombosis or treatment, to examine mortality and morbidity after thrombosis, and to evaluate the final status of the patients.
Methodology160 cases diagnosed with thrombosis between the ages of 1 month and 18 years, who were followed up by the Pediatric Hematology and Oncology outpatient clinic of IstanbulSchool of Medicine, between 01-JAN-2012 and 01-JAN-2022 were analyzed, retrospectively. While obtaining the medical data of the patients, patient files and hospital information management systems were used. The obtained data were analyzed with IBM SPSS V23 computer program and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
ResultsCerebral thrombosis was present in 33% of the cases, thrombosis in the lower extremity in 30.6% and upper extremity in 25.6%. At least one acquired or hereditary thrombosis risk factor was detected in 96.9% of the patients.Acquired risk factors were found in 81.2% of the patients, hereditary risk factors in 60.6% and both acquired and hereditary risk factors in 45% of the patients. Twenty (12.5%) patients were followed up without anticoagulant treatment.66.2% of the patients received prophylaxis
ConclusionIn our study; the incidence of childhood thrombosis, acquired and inherited risk factors, treatment and complications of thrombosis were found to be compatible with the studies conducted in our country and in the world. Based on the frequency of inherited and acquired risk factors in every child with thrombosis, it is thought that these risk factors cannot be ignored. Conducting studies in a larger population, including the healthy control group, will contribute to the literature.
