Cure8 research brief
Children hospitalized with IBD have a much higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Improving clinician knowledge and confidence about VTE prevention could help close care gaps and support safer inpatient management.
Pediatric IBD clinicians, hospital medicine teams, trainees, nursing staff involved in inpatient pediatric IBD care; parents/caregivers of hospitalized children with IBD who are interested in inpatient safety practices.
The course was tested using a pre–post survey among 65 mostly academic clinicians; self-reported confidence and knowledge scores increased significantly after completing the modules. Participants also reported high satisfaction with the curriculum. The report focuses on education and implementation rather than on clinical outcomes like reduced VTE events.
The study assessed self-reported knowledge/confidence and participant satisfaction after an educational course; it did not report effects on actual VTE incidence or clinical practice changes beyond survey results.
