A cross-sectional study evaluating post-thrombotic syndrome in children
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) in adults, characterized by swelling, skin pigmentation, pain, and ulceration of the limb, is secondary to deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In contrast to the extensive documentation on PTS in adults, little is known about the risk of PTS in children.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence, clinical characteristics, and predictors of PTS in children.
