N2 - OBJECTIVE: To assess the incidence rate (IR), changes in IR over time, risk factors, treatment, and outcomes of pediatric noncerebral thromboembolism (TE). STUDY DESIGN: The study included all patients aged 0 to 18 years diagnosed with first-ever noncerebral venous thromboembolism (VTE) and/or arterial TE in Denmark between 1994 and 2006. Patients were identified in national registries, followed by validation of diagnoses by medical records review. RESULTS: We confirmed 331 cases of VTE and 46 cases of arterial TE during 15.8 million person-years of observation, with corresponding IRs of 2.09 and 0.29 per 100 000 person-years. The IR peaked in infancy (age
