Venous thromboembolism following inpatient pediatric surgery: Analysis of 153,220 patients.


ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To evaluate venous thromboembolism (VTE) rates and risk factors following inpatient pediatric surgery. METHODS:153,220 inpatient pediatric surgical patients were selected from the 2012-2015 NSQIP-P database. Demographic and perioperative variables were documented. Primary outcome was VTE requiring treatment within 30 postoperative days. Secondary outcomes included length of stay (LOS) and 30-day mortality. Prediction models were generated using logistic regression. Mortality and time to VTE were assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. RESULTS:305 patients (0.20%) developed 296 venous thromboses and 12 pulmonary emboli (3 cooccurrences). Median time to VTE was 9?days. Most VTEs (81%) occurred predischarge. Subspecialties with highest VTE rates were cardiothoracic (0.72%) and general surgery (0.28%). No differences were seen for elective vs. urgent/emergent procedures (p?=?0.106). All-cause mortality VTE patients was 1.2% vs. 0.2% in patients without VTE (p?
