Due to the risk of mortality, short- and long-term morbidity, and increased healthcare costs associated with pediatric VTE, this entity merits better understanding and consideration. With this Research Topic, we aim to highlight some special considerations of pediatric VTE, namely risk factors and epidemiology, rare types of pediatric thrombosis and considerations unique to specific clinical patient subgroups, approaches to management and treatment, and prevention UR - https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/4188/pediatric-venous-thromboembolism UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/55902 ER -
