    The study evaluated risk factors for venous thrombosis in 282 preterm infants admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit.

  • 2

    The incidence of venous thrombosis was 1.0% among hospitalized preterm infants, with catheter-related thrombosis being predominant.

  • 3

    Lower extremity PICC placement was identified as a significant independent risk factor for venous thrombosis in preterm infants.

  • 4

    Maternal use of anticoagulant or antiplatelet agents during pregnancy was also noted as a clinical predictor for thrombosis.

  • 5

    The study found a high detection rate of asymptomatic thrombosis, emphasizing the importance of routine vascular ultrasound.
