Abstract
In this pediatric ALL cohort, obesity conferred more than a three-fold increased risk for symptomatic VTE. In a subgroup of patients who underwent active screening, up to a third were noted to have VTE (symptomatic and asymptomatic). TEG did not predict VTE. Additional studies are necessary to validate these findings and to further refine a risk-stratified approach to thrombo-prevention during ALL therapy.
