Abstract

Introduction Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is uncommon in children but the incidence of hospital-acquired (HA) VTE is 70-300 times higher than general population. Most HA-VTE studies are from Western population and some risk factors are inconclusive. Thus, this study aimed to investigate incidence and risk factor of pediatric HA-VTE in Thai children.
