Objective

The goal of the CRETE Studies is to investigate the newly identified age-dependent heterogeneity in the efficacy of enoxaparin in reducing the risk of central venous catheter-associated deep venous thrombosis in critically ill children.

Description

Pediatric venous thromboembolism (VTE), which is predominantly deep venous thrombosis (DVT), is a top contributor to harm in hospitalized children. Its incidence increased by >300% in the past 2 decades. Critical illness and central venous catheter (CVC) are the most important risk factors for VTE in children. Among critically ill children, the risk of CVC-associated DVT (CADVT) is as high as 54% with 72% of cases in infants
