Statements
The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) with gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) in transgender and gender non-binary (TNB) youth is unclear. (English)
BACKGROUND (English)

2024
To identify the rate of VTE in a cohort of TNB youth followed in the transgender health clinic at Boston Children's Hospital, and to investigate the impact of congenital thrombophilia diagnosis on the use of GAHT. (English)
OBJECTIVE (English)
© 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC. (English)
2024
ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes were used to identify eligible individuals, defined as (i) having a diagnosis of gender dysphoria and (ii) venous thromboembolism (VTE). (English)
METHODS (English)

The primary analysis included 1860 individuals. (English)
RESULTS (English)

2024
Mean age (±SD) at GAHT initiation was 16.8 (±1.9) years. (English)
RESULTS (English)

2024
Five thrombotic events were identified in three (0.13%) individuals, all in the setting of additional VTE risk factors. (English)
RESULTS (English)

2024
Only two of five thrombotic events occurred while receiving GAHT. (English)
RESULTS (English)

2024
The rate of VTE in the GAHT cohort did not statistically differ from the rate of VTE in the non-GAHT cohort (0.1% vs. 0.2%, p = .62). (English)
RESULTS (English)

2024
Of the 10 individuals diagnosed with a congenital thrombophilia, two transmasculine individuals received prophylactic anticoagulation prior to GAHT. (English)
RESULTS (English)

RESULTS (English)
