摘要
Abstract Background Pediatric venous thromboembolism has increased by 130%–200%, specifically in hospitalized children, and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) offer several therapeutic advantages. Methods This study aims to evaluate the real‐world epidemiological and outcome data from a retrospective review of pediatric patients treated with DOACs from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2022. In this single‐center, IRB‐approved study, 65 patients were identified and analyzed using SPSS statistical software, and a descriptive statistical analysis was conducted. Results Of the 65 patients, 37% were on apixaban, 61.5% were on rivaroxaban, and 1.5% were on dabigatran. Per the 2023 ISTH outcome definitions, one (2%) patient had a major bleeding episode, six (9%) had clinically relevant non‐major bleeding, three (5%) patients had patient‐important heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), and one (1.5%) patient had minor bleeding. Seven (19%) of 37 postmenarchal patients had evidence of HMB. Six (9.2%) patients had recurrent venous thromboembolism while on a DOAC (one was on apixaban, and five were on rivaroxaban) and were transitioned to other forms of anticoagulation. Conclusion Thus, bleeding rates after DOAC therapy are comparable to previous DOAC trials, as well as other anticoagulants in pediatrics. HMB is an important outcome measure and should continue to be investigated. This study reports a higher rate of recurrent thrombosis (9.2%) compared to other trials. However, this observation may be attributed to patients who had ongoing risk factors, as well as a longer duration of study follow‐up. Additional multicentered outcome studies evaluating DOAC use in children are needed to determine long‐term recurrence and HMB risks.
