Validation of a venous thromboembolism prediction algorithm for pediatric trauma: A National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) analysis

This study validates a predictive algorithm for venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk in pediatric trauma patients using National Trauma Data Bank data from 2013-2016. The model demonstrated strong discriminatory ability (AUC >0.93) across multiple cohorts, supporting its potential use in identifying high-risk children who may benefit from VTE prophylaxis.
