متن کاملAnticoagulants in pediatric cerebral sinovenous thrombosis: a safety and outcome study.
OBJECTIVE Clinical trials are lacking in pediatric cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT). Neonates and children increasingly receive anticoagulant therapy (ACT) based on adult studies. Safety data for ACT in pediatric CSVT are scant and urgently needed. The objective was to assess the safety and outcome of ACT in pediatric CSVT. METHODS In a single-center prospective study, neonates and child...
متن کاملMale Predominance in Childhood Ischemic Stroke
Background and Purpose—Previous studies suggested a male predominance in childhood ischemic stroke, mirroring gender differences in adults but were limited by small sample sizes or unconfirmed diagnoses. We sought to study gender within a large international series of confirmed cases of pediatric ischemic stroke. Methods—From January 2003 to July 2007, the International Pediatric Stroke Study e...
