Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Participants Who Required Sedation/Anesthesia With the Study-Related Radiographic Procedures, by Cohort and Age
Time Frame: Either Day 40±20 days following the placement of CVC (cohort A) or within 7 days of: symptoms of DVT or incidental diagnosis of CVC-related DVT(cohort B) or Day of MRI + 48 hours (cohort C).
One set of diagnostic imaging procedures (US and MRI) was to be performed for all cohorts The MRI consisted of MRI venous imaging without contrast enhancement and MRI venous imaging with contrast enhancement.
Number of Participants and Reasons for Non-Completion of Each of the Imaging Procedures, Ultrasound (US), MRI With Contrast and MRI Without Contrast
Time Frame: Either Day 40±20 days following the placement of CVC (cohort A) or within 7 days of: symptoms of DVT or incidental diagnosis of CVC-related DVT(cohort B) or Day of MRI + 48 hours (cohort C).
Bilateral US was attempted but if it could not be completed, a unilateral US was accepted for analysis. Participants who did not complete the MRI procedure with contrast could be different participants from those who did not complete the MRI procedure without contrast. Primary reasons for non-completion of imaging included: technical, investigator decision, child refused, parent refused, child missed appointment, difficulties with anesthesia/sedation, child unable to lie still, problems with contrast administration, and other reasons. Other reasons could include: late to appointment and unable to perform MRI due to time constraints; logistical reasons, parent agreed to only ultrasound at time of consent, schedule delay, equipment not available, difficulty putting patient in correct position. Due to the small numbers of participants in some cohorts, these data were more meaningful with all cohorts grouped together for the total imaged population.
Number of Participants With an Adjudicated Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Detected By a Study-Related Ultrasound (US) and/or MRI, By Cohort and Age Group
Time Frame: Either Day 40±20 days following the placement of CVC (cohort A) or within 7 days of: symptoms of DVT or incidental diagnosis of CVC-related DVT(cohort B) or Day of MRI + 48 hours (cohort C)
MRI with contrast (c) and without (w/o) contrast (c) enhancement were performed and a US was done within 48 hours of the MRI. Once detected, the DVT was adjudicated and confirmed by an independent central adjudication Committee (ICAC) consisting of experienced physicians not involved in the study and blinded to each participant's identity and clinical course. Participants were considered positive for DVT if at least one of the radiographic procedures was positive. Cohort A: Day 0=day of catheter placement; Day 40 (± 20 days)=day of imaging procedures at Visit 1, or if possible within 72 hours after a CVC is removed or lost. Cohort B Visit 1: within 7 days of initiation of symptoms of a CVC-related DVT (symptoms include but were not limited to: redness, pain/tenderness, swelling, presence of subcutaneous collaterals, catheter occlusion, and the presence of catheter related infection) or within 7 days of an incidental diagnosis of CVC-related DVT by radiographic imaging.
All Participants With an Adjudicated Deep Vein Thromboembolism (DVT) By Study-Related Radiographic Procedures That Diagnosed the DVT
Time Frame: Either Day 40±20 days following the placement of CVC (cohort A) or within 7 days of: symptoms of DVT or incidental diagnosis of CVC-related DVT(cohort B) or Day of MRI + 48 hours (cohort C)
Adjudication was by an Independent Central Adjudication Committee (ICAC) consisting of experienced physicians not involved in the study and blinded to each participant's identity and clinical course. One set of 3 study-related diagnostic imaging procedures (US, MRI with contrast, and MRI without contrast) was performed. Participants were considered positive for DVT if at least one of the radiographic procedures was positive.
Total Number of Participants Who Completed the Study-Related Ultrasound (US) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) With and Without Contrast
Time Frame: Either Day 40±20 days following the placement of CVC (cohort A) or within 7 days of: symptoms of DVT or incidental diagnosis of CVC-related DVT(cohort B) or Day of MRI + 48 hours (cohort C).
One set of 3 diagnostic imaging procedures (US, MRI with contrast, and MRI without contrast) was performed for all cohorts. Imaging was performed on Visit 1, which in Cohort A was Day 40 ± 20 days from Day 0, the placement of the central venous catheter (CVC), or if possible within 72 hours after a CVC was removed or lost; Visit 1 in Cohort B was within 7 days of initiation of symptoms of a CVC-related deep vein thromboembolism (DVT) or within 7 days of an incidental diagnosis of CVC-related DVT by radiographic imaging. Cohort C participants had an ultrasound done within 48 hours of the performance of the MRI, which was scheduled for a clinical reason. Note: participants completing each MRI procedure (with contrast or without contrast) could be different participants.
Number of Participants Who Completed the Study-Related Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) With and Without Contrast, by Cohort and Age Group
Time Frame: Either Day 40±20 days following the placement of CVC (cohort A) or within 7 days of: symptoms of DVT or incidental diagnosis of CVC-related DVT(cohort B) or Day of MRI + 48 hours (cohort C)
Imaging was performed on Visit 1 which was defined for Cohort A as: Day 40 ± 20 days from Day 0, the placement of the central venous catheter (CVC), or if possible within 72 hours after a CVC was removed or lost; Visit 1 defined for Cohort B: within 7 days of initiation of symptoms of a CVC-related deep vein thromboembolism (DVT) or within 7 days of an incidental diagnosis of CVC-related DVT by radiographic imaging. Cohort C participants had an ultrasound done within 48 hours of the performance of the MRI. All 3 imaging procedures, ultrasound, MRI with contrast, MRI without contrast were to be performed on all participants, regardless of the cohort.
