Supports caution with combined VTE risks in obese adolescents on OCPs; leaves open development of pediatric-specific guidelines.
Case Report (n=1)
This case underscores the urgent need for pediatric-specific guidelines and risk assessment tools for managing venous thromboembolism in adolescents with multiple risk factors.
George et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) (n=1). Multiple risk factors (obesity, oral contraceptives, genetic thrombophilias) was evaluated. A pediatric patient with obesity, oral contraceptive use, and genetic thrombophilias developed VTE, highlighting the need for comprehensive risk assessment tools and management guidelines.
