62 Differences in Types of Thromboses and Risk Factors in Males versus Females in Adolescent Thromboembolism in the Throm-PED Registry
Introduction: Adolescents are at heightened risk for thromboembolism (TE), likely due to diagnostic/therapeutic advances, and unique health challenges. Varying risk factors in females compared to males (e.g., estrogen, autoimmune disorders/antiphospholipid syndrome) may result in differences in prevalence, and TE types, which in turn can lead to differences in treatment choices, outcome and complications. Few studies have evaluated sex-based differences in TE and no study has addressed the impact of sex in adolescent TE.
