Intervention(s)
Observational study.

The primary outcome of the study is the frequency of central venous catheter-related venous thrombosis in children receiving central venous catheters at Astrid Lindgrens Children´s Hospital.
All children receiving central venous catheters at Astrid Lindgrens Children´s Hospital will be included in the study.

Blood sampling for coagulation tests will be obtained at the insertion and extraction of the central venous catheter (CVC). Patients will be followed for clinical signs of CVC-related venous thrombosis as long as the central venous catheter is in place. Ultrasonography will be used to detect asymptomatic thrombosis at the time of CVC removal.

Patients will be followed until hospital discharge. Patients that develop CVC-related thrombosis will be followed until the end of treatment.

Primary Outcome(s)
Frequency of central venous catheter-related venous thrombosis assessed by ultrasonography.[Duration of CVC]
Secondary Outcome(s)
Hospital length of stay, data from medical records.[Hospital discharge]
In-hospital mortality, data from medical records.[Hospital discharge]
Short term (in-hospital) complications of venous thrombosis, data from medical records.[Hospital discharge]
PICU length of stay, data from medical records.[PICU discharge]
Time on mechanical ventilation, data from medical records.[PICU discharge]
Secondary ID(s)
None
