Abstract:Appropriate dosing, routine monitoring and the risks of complications are important considerations when treating acute venous thromboembolism (VTE) in paediatric patients. Due to the lack of high-quality evidence, the use of anticoagulants in paediatric patients is largely based on extrapolation from adult data. Age-dependent differences in haemostasis and drug metabolism, particularly in neonates, makes this approach sub-optimal.
