Abstract

Aim: Umbilical venous catheters are frequently used in the neonatal period. The incidence of umbilical venous catheter-related thrombosis is between 1.3% and 43% in ultrasound scans. This study aimed to determine the incidence and risk of portal vein thrombosis in patients who were hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit and underwent umbilical venous catheter insertion.
