Rates of Non-Catheter-Related Venous Thromboembolism Events in Cystic Fibrosis Patients During Hospitalization

Background: Incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is increased in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), especially with use of central venous catheters. However, the risk of non-catheter related thrombosis (non-CRT) remains poorly defined in hospitalized adult patients with CF. Our primary objective was to determine the rate of non-CRT in CF patients hospitalized with acute bronchiectasis exacerbations.Methods: We reviewed all admissions of …
