Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The primary outcome of the study is the frequency of midline catheter-related venous thrombosis in children receiving midline catheters at Astrid Lindgrens Children´s Hospital.
100 children receiving midline catheters at Astrid Lindgrens Children´s Hospital will be included in the study. The objectives of the study is primary to characterize the frequency of midline catheter-related venous thrombosis but also other possible complications in children receiving midline catheters at Astrid Lindgren Children´s Hospital.
Patients will be followed for clinical signs of midline-related venous thrombosis as long as the catheter is in place. Ultrasonography will be used to detect asymptomatic venous thrombosis at the time of midline catheter removal.

Patients that develop midline-related venous thrombosis will be followed until the end of treatment.

Patients will be followed for other midline-related complications, such as infection, thrombophlebitis and mechanical complications.
Life-span of midline catheter and the need for additional venous access to complete therapy will also be recorded.

The total duration of observation per participant will be approximately 1-2 weeks.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 318715 0
Frequency of midline-related venous thrombosis assessed by ultrasonography
Timepoint [1] 318715 0
Duration of midline catheter.
Ultrasonography will be performed:
1. If clinical signs of venous thrombosis appear during the dwell-time of the midline catheter.
2. At the time of midline catheter removal to screen for asymptomatic venous thrombosis.
Secondary outcome [1] 365808 0
Midline-related bloodstream infection. Defined as a laboratory-confirmed bloodstream infection in a patient who had a midline within the 48 hour period before the development of the bloodstream infection, and that is not related to an infection at another site.
Timepoint [1] 365808 0
Assessed 48 hours after midline removal.
Secondary outcome [2] 366267 0
Removal of midline catheter due to:
1. Mechanical complication to midline catheter (occlusion, dislodgement, extravasation)
2..Thrombophlebitis.
This will be assessed by the treating physician in charge of the patient.
Timepoint [2] 366267 0
Daily assessments until the catheter is removed.
Secondary outcome [3] 366698 0
The need for additional venous access to complete intended therapy. Defined as a need to insert an additional venous access to complete the intended therapy due to premature dysfunction of the midline catheter.
The need for additional venous access will be decided by the treating physician in charge of the patient.
Timepoint [3] 366698 0
This will be assessed at the time of catheter removal.

Statistical methods / analysis
Data will be tested for normality using D’Agostino & Pearson omnibus normality test. Parametric or non-parametric statistics will be used as appropriate to investigate differences between patients with and without midline-related deep venous thrombosis. Logistic regression including univariate and multivariate analysis will be used to identify risk factors for developing midline-related deep venous thrombosis.

Summary
Brief summary
Midline catheters are being used more frequently in both the adult and paediatric population. However, data is sparse regarding midline-related complications in the paediatric setting. Our aim is to determine the frequency of venous thrombosis related to paediatric midline catheters. We will also investigate the frequency of other midline-related complications, and the average dwell-time for paediatric midline catheters. The need for additional venous access to complete the intended therapy will also be registered.
