Abstract
This study identifies CVC as an independent risk factor for HA-VTE in critically ill neonates. However, the level of risk associated with CVC is below the conventional threshold for primary anticoagulation thromboprophylaxis. Larger studies are needed to substantiate these findings and identify novel putative risk factors to further distinguish NICU patients at highest HA-VTE risk.
