Brief Summary:
'The TOP Study' is a prospective cohort study whose main objective is to develop better prognostic biomarkers and identify children at risk of adverse thrombotic outcomes very early in the course after an initial venous thromboembolic events (VTE). The study will compare biomarkers in children that develop poor VTE outcomes (such as recurrence, postthrombotic syndrome and post PE impairment ) after an initial VTE with those that do not develop such outcomes.

Condition or disease
Venous Thromboembolism

Detailed Description:
All newly diagnosed patients with a first radiologically confirmed thrombotic event (any site) diagnosed at Children's Medical Center, Dallas will be followed prospectively with global coagulation assessment over a 24-month period, and monitored for development of carefully defined adverse VTE outcomes in a blinded manner. Biomarker assessment will include global coagulation assays (thrombin generation assay and modified thromboelastography to study fibrinolysis) at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months post VTE diagnosis.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Postthrombotic syndrome (PTS) [ Time Frame: within 24 months after diagnosis of VTE ]
    PTS as assessed by the validated Manco-Johnson and the modified Villata PTS instruments determined a priori and confirmed by an endpoint adjudicating committee

  2. Symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism [ Time Frame: within 24 months after diagnosis of VTE ]
    Recurrent VTE as assessed by ISTH proposed recurrent VTE clinical criteria

  3. Post-pulmonary embolism (PE) impairment [ Time Frame: within 24 months after diagnosis of VTE ]
    Post-PE impairment, defined as deterioration (compared to discharge or previous follow-up visit), or persistence, in a) echocardiographic parameters of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction (defined by abnormal RV basal diameter or abnormal right atrial end systolic area or abnormal tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion or presence of pericardial effusion) and/or pulmonary hypertension (defined by abnormal estimated right atrial pressure or elevated systolic tricuspid regurgitant velocity), and clinical, functional parameters of RV failure (new appearance of symptoms of heart failure or abnormal six-minute walking distance or elevated brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) plasma levels or abnormal peak O2 uptake on cardiopulmonary exercise testing)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Post-thrombotic sequelae [ Time Frame: Within 24 months after diagnosis of VTE ]
    Site specific sequelae after cerebral sinus venous, portal vein and renal vein thrombosis as assessed by ISTH recommended guidelines

  2. Change in quality of life [ Time Frame: Within 24 months after diagnosis of VTE ]
    Quality of life by PedsQL (TM)


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Change in Physical Activity scores [ Time Frame: Within 24 months after diagnosis of VTE ]
    Physical activity as determined by Gordin questionnaire

  2. Elastic Compression Stocking (ECS) use over time [ Time Frame: Within 24 months after diagnosis of VTE ]
    ECS use will be assessed by ECS log/diary documenting dedicated (use for at least 6 days/week), moderate (use for 4-5 days/week) or poor use (<4 days/week)

  3. Loss of venous access [ Time Frame: 12 months post DVT diagnosis ]
    Loss of venous access in subjects with catheter related DVT of the upper extremity DVT as defined by >30% of the narrowing of the involved vein as assessed by doppler ultrasound or contrast venography

  4. Venous valvular reflux [ Time Frame: 12 months post DVT diagnosis ]
    Venous valvular reflux in subjects with lower extremity DVT will be assessed as present (>0.5 seconds) or absent (<0.5 seconds) at the 12 month post diagnosis visit with a standardized venous reflux ultrasound procedure
