Description
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of conducting a study of central venous catheter-associated thrombosis in children using PEDSnet data.
Study Aims
- Identify patients with evidence of CVC placement based on procedure or device data. Stratify cohort according to those with evidence/time of placement or not. Categorize CVC as implanted port, percutaneous CVC, or PICC. Categorize as temporary versus tunnelled percutaneous CVCs (when possible). Provide counts of persons by calendar year stratified by age category (0 – 2, 2 - 6, 6 - 12, 12 - 18), administrative sex, and administrative race/ethnicity. Also explore 0-6 months; 0-1 month
- Estimate dwell time for CVCs based on evidence of catheter removal or replacement (when available). - For each class of CVC noted above, provide mean, median, range, and IQR of dwell time for catheters having both placement and removal/replacement events. - Particularly interested in less than vs. greater than 6 months.
- Examine common diagnoses within 30 days of insertion and stratify prior results by whether there was a venous thromboembolism at removal.
