Application risk assessment and prognosis
Objective The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of heparin-bonded catheters for preventing thrombosis in infants aged less than 1 year with congenital heart disease.
p Value <0.001
OR 6.3
Conclusion Infants with congenital heart disease are at significant risk of both silent and clinically identified thrombosis. There seems to be no advantage in using heparin-bonded catheters in infants less than 1 year of age.
