Abstract

Neonates are at the highest risk of thrombosis of all paediatric age groups, and this risk mainly affects critically ill and premature babies. Despite improved neonatal care, thrombosis is an important secondary complication that contributes to morbidity and mortality. Maternal factors as well as neonatal conditions, such as prematurity, asphyxia, infection, heart disease, and their treatment, particularly the use of central catheters, have been implicated as risk factors of neonatal thrombosis, but this knowledge is rather heterogeneous and based on small and low-quality studies so far.
