Abstract
INTRODUCTION Neurological impairment is a big concern in the development of patients with congenital heart defects (CHD). A number of neuromarkers have been studied in search of a diagnostic or prognostic marker for brain injury during the vulnerable perioperative period. Our aim was to assess two novel neuromarkers, myelin basic protein (MBP) and protein Tau (pTau), as diagnostic markers for brain injury in perioperative period in children with CHD. METHODS Forty patients were enrolled and dichotomized based on peripheric oxygen saturation in cyanotic and non-cyanotic group. Blood samples were collected preoperative, after the induction of anesthesia, and in postoperative day 1. Neuromarker concentrations were measured using commercially available ELISA kits. RESULTS Neuromarkers' values were increased postoperative, with statistical significance reached only in non-cyanotic group (p < 0.0001). A significant positive correlation was observed between preoperatory MBP and albumin level, hemoglobin level, height, and weight of patients. Association with cerebral saturations were analyzed by a coefficient defined as ≥ 20% reduction in cerebral saturation measured by near-infrared spectroscopy during perioperative period. An acceptable predicting model was observed with pTau in cyanotic group (AUC = 0.7). CONCLUSION We evaluated MBP and pTau as potential biomarkers of brain injury in children with CHD undergoing cardiac surgery. Elevated postoperative pTau and MBP concentrations were observed in both groups. Elevated pTau values were associated with perioperative hypoxemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to assess the role of continuous EEG (cEEG) background patterns and duration of cross-clamp time and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) undergoing cardiac surgery and its correlation with abnormal neurodevelopmental outcomes at 12-24 months on Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (BSID-III). METHODS This retrospective cohort study included infants with CHD and cEEG monitoring, who underwent surgery by 44 weeks gestational age. RESULTS 34 patients were included, who were operated at median age - 7 days. Longer duration of cross- camp time was associated with poor language composite scores (LCS) (p value = 0.036). A significant association existed between severity of encephalopathy in 24-hour post-operative period and poor LCS (p value = 0.026). CONCLUSION Majority of neonates with CHD have below average cognitive, language and motor composite scores on BSID-III. Longer duration of cross-clamp time and severity of encephalopathy during 24-hour post-operative EEG monitoring are associated with poor LCS.

Abstract
The aim of this systematic literature review was to assess the data regarding neuromarkers used to evaluate the impact of cardiovascular surgery on neurodevelopmental pattern of children with congenital heart defects. A systematic search was performed on PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Out of 713 publications screened, 10 studies (471 patients) met the inclusion criteria. The included studies were coded on several variables: number and heterogeneity of patients (age, congenital heart defects), exclusion of patients with conditions that predispose to neurological impairment, neuroimaging workup pre- and post-surgery, neurodevelopmental assessment, interventions (part of a different study), and follow-up period. Results were reported according to PRISMA guidelines. Findings include: neuron-specific enolase and brain-derived neurotrophic factor are not reliable neuromarkers, for protein S100B different results were reported, for activin A there is lack of evidence, and glial fibrillary acidic protein could represent a reliable neuromarker for acute brain-injury. Directions for future research are discussed.

Abstract
Analgesia, sedation, and anesthesia are a continuum. Diagnostic and/or therapeutic procedures in newborns often require analgesia, sedation, and/or anesthesia. Newborns, in general, and, particularly, those with heart disease, have an increased risk of serious adverse events, including mortality under anesthesia. In this section, we discuss the assessment and management of pain and discomfort during interventions, review the doses and side effects of commonly used medications, and provide recommendations for their use in newborns with heart disease. For procedures requiring deeper levels of sedation and anesthesia, airway and hemodynamic support might be necessary. Although associations of long-term deleterious neurocognitive effects of anesthetic agents have received considerable attention in both scientific and lay press, causality is not established. Nonetheless, an early multimodal, multidisciplinary approach is beneficial for safe management before, during, and after interventional procedures and surgery to avoid problems of tolerance and delirium, which can contribute to long-term cognitive dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many applications of transcranial Doppler (TCD) as a diagnosis or monitoring tool have raised interest in the last decades. It is important that clinicians know when and how to perform TCD in this population, what parameter to assess and monitor and how to interpret it. OBJECTIVE This review aims to describe the emerging clinical applications of TCD in critically ill children excluding those suffering from trauma. METHODS Databases Web of Science, Cochrane and PubMed were searched in May 2020. We considered all publications since the year 2000 addressing the use of TCD as a prognostic, diagnostic or follow-up tool in children aged 0 to 15 years admitted to intensive care or emergency units, excluding neonatology and traumatic brain injury. Two independent reviewers selected 82 abstracts and full-text articles from the 2011 unique citations identified at the outset. RESULTS TCD provides crucial additional information at bedside about cerebrovascular hemodynamics. Many clinical applications include the diagnosis and management of various medical and surgical neurologic conditions (central nervous system infections, arterial ischemic stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage and vasospasm, brain death, seizures, metabolic disease, hydrocephalus) as well as monitoring the impact systemic conditions on brain perfusion (hemodynamic instability, circulatory assistance). CONCLUSION To conclude, TCD has become an invaluable asset for non-invasive neuromonitoring in critically ill children excluding those suffering from trauma. However, the scope of TCD remains unclearly defined yet and reference values in critically ill children are still lacking.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyse the changes of different ventilation on regional cerebral oxygen saturation and cerebral blood flow in infants during ventricular septal defect repair. METHODS Ninety-two infants younger than 1 year were enrolled in the study. End-expiratory tidal pressure of carbon dioxide was maintained at 40-45 and 35-39 mmHg in relative low and high ventilation groups. Regional cerebral oxygen saturation and flow velocity of the middle cerebral artery were recorded after anaesthesia (T0), cut pericardium (T1), separation from cardiopulmonary bypass (T2), the end of modified ultrafiltration, (T3) and at the end of operation (T4). RESULTS The relative low ventilation group exhibited a significantly high regional cerebral oxygen saturation at each time point except for T2 (T0:77 ± 4, T1:76 ± 5, T3:76 ± 8, T4:76 ± 8, respectively, p < 0.001). Flow velocity of the middle cerebral artery in the relative low ventilation group was higher compared to the relative high ventilation group at each time point except for T2 (T0:53 ± 14, T1:54 ± 15, T3:53 ± 17, T4:52 ± 16, respectively, p < 0.001). Between the two groups, T2 showed the lowest middle cerebral artery flow velocity (relative low ventilation: 39 ± 15, relative high ventilation: 39 ± 11, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The infants' regional cerebral oxygen saturation and middle cerebral artery flow velocity performed better in the range of 40-45 mmHg end-expiratory tidal pressure of carbon dioxide during CHD surgery. Modified ultrafiltration increased cerebral oxygen saturation. It was important to regulate ventilation in order to balance cerebral oxygen in infants.

Abstract
CONTEXT With improvements in survival rates in newborns with congenital heart defects (CHDs), focus has now shifted toward enhancing neurodevelopmental outcomes across their life span. OBJECTIVE To systematically review the prevalence and extent of motor difficulties in infants, children, and adolescents with CHD requiring open-heart surgery. DATA SOURCES Data sources included Embase, Medline and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature. STUDY SELECTION Original studies published between 1997 and 2019 examining gross and/or fine motor skills in children born with a CHD requiring open-heart surgery were selected. DATA EXTRACTION The prevalence of motor impairments and mean scores on standardized motor assessments were extracted. Findings were grouped in 5 categories on the basis of the age of the children. RESULTS Forty-six original studies were included in this systematic review. The prevalence of mild to severe motor impairments (scores <-1 SD below normative data or controls) across childhood ranged from 12.3% to 68.6%, and prevalence ranged from 0% to 60.0% for severe motor impairments (<-2 SDs). Although our results suggest that the overall prevalence of motor impairments <-1 SD remains rather constant across childhood and adolescence, severe motor impairments (<-2 SDs) appear to be more prevalent in younger children. LIMITATIONS Variability in sampling and methodology between the reviewed studies is the most important limitation of this review. CONCLUSIONS The results of this review highlight that infants with CHD have an increased risk of motor impairments across infancy, childhood, and adolescence. These findings stress the importance of systematic screening or evaluation of motor skills across childhood and adolescence in children with CHD.

Abstract
AIM To assess outcomes in adolescence after surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD) in infancy. Domains analysed included cognition and executive function, social and emotional well-being, adaptive behaviour, academic achievement, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). METHOD Twenty-one participants (10 males, 11 females) ranged in age from 14 to 17 years (mean 15y 4.8mo, SD 8.4mo). Twenty had biventricular repairs. All were classified as New York Heart Association class I. Measures included: Wechsler Intelligence and Achievement scales; Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning, Second Edition; California Verbal Learning Test - Children's Version; Behaviour Rating Inventory of Executive Function; Conners, Third Edition; Adaptive Behavior Assessment System, Second Edition; Behavior Assessment System for Children, Second Edition; Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure; and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. RESULTS Outcomes were significantly lower (p≤0.01) than population norms for processing speed, mathematical achievement, attention, and visual-spatial ability. Participants reported more frequent learning problems but more positive family relations. HRQoL was significantly lower across most domains by self- and parent-proxy report. INTERPRETATION Individuals with CHD may experience difficulties across a range of domains. These findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive screening, early intervention, and long-term follow-up, as deficits may extend into young adulthood. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS Identified cognitive, learning, and attentional impairments in adolescents after congenital heart disease surgery in infancy. Combined self-report, caregiver report, and laboratory tasks in a comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessment protocol. Health-related quality of life was lower across most domains.

Abstract
CONTEXT Brain injury during prenatal and preoperative postnatal life might play a major role in neurodevelopmental impairment in infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) who require corrective or palliative surgery during infancy. A systematic review of cerebral findings during this period in relation to neurodevelopmental outcome (NDO), however, is lacking. OBJECTIVE To assess the association between prenatal and postnatal preoperative cerebral findings and NDO in infants with CHD who require corrective or palliative surgery during infancy. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Embase, reference lists. STUDY SELECTION We conducted 3 different searches for English literature between 2000 and 2016; 1 for prenatal cerebral findings, 1 for postnatal preoperative cerebral findings, and 1 for the association between brain injury and NDO. DATA EXTRACTION Two reviewers independently screened sources and extracted data on cerebral findings and neurodevelopmental outcome. Quality of studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. RESULTS Abnormal cerebral findings are common during the prenatal and postnatal preoperative periods. Prenatally, a delay of cerebral development was most common; postnatally, white matter injury, periventricular leukomalacia, and stroke were frequently observed. Abnormal Doppler measurements, brain immaturity, cerebral oxygenation, and abnormal EEG or amplitude-integrated EEG were all associated with NDO. LIMITATIONS Observational studies, different types of CHD with different pathophysiological effects, and different reference values. CONCLUSIONS Prenatal and postnatal preoperative abnormal cerebral findings might play an important role in neurodevelopmental impairment in infants with CHD. Increased awareness of the vulnerability of the young developing brain of an infant with CHD among caregivers is essential.

Abstract
Background Cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2c) decrease from baseline greater than 20 % during infant cardiac surgery was associated with postoperative neurologic changes and neurodevelopmental impairment at 1 year of age. So far, there is no sufficient evidence to support the routine monitoring of rSO2c during general surgical procedures in children. We aimed to find out the frequency of cerebral desaturation 20 % or more from baseline and to identify possible predictors of change in cerebral oxygen saturation during neonatal and infant general surgery. Methods Forty-four infants up to 3 months of age were recruited. Before induction of anesthesia, two pediatric cerebral sensors were placed bilaterally to the forehead region and monitoring of regional cerebral saturation of oxygen was started and continued throughout the surgery. Simultaneously, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), pulse oximetry (SpO2), heart rate (HR), endtidal CO2, expired fraction of sevoflurane and rectal temperature were recorded. The main outcome measure was rSO2c value drop-off ≥20 % from baseline. Mann-Whitney U-test, chi-squared test, simple and multiple linear regression models were used for statistical analysis. Results Forty-three infants were analyzed. Drop-off ≥20 % in rSO2c from baseline occurred in 8 (18.6 %) patients. There were no differences in basal rSO2c, SpO2, HR, endtidal CO2, expired fraction of sevoflurane and rectal temperature between patients with and without desaturation 20 % or more from baseline. But the two groups differed with regard to gestation, preoperative mechanical ventilation and the use of vasoactive medications and red blood cell transfusions during surgery. Simple linear regression model showed, that gestation, age, preoperative mechanical ventilation and mean arterial pressure corresponding to minimal rSO2c value during anesthesia (MAPminrSO2c) were associated with a change in rSO2c values. Multiple regression model including all above mentioned variables, revealed that only MAPminrSO2c was predictive for a change in rSO2c values (β (95 % confidence interval) -0.28 (−0.52–(−0.04)) p = 0.02). Conclusions Cerebral oxygen desaturation ≥20 % from baseline occurred in almost one fifth of patients. Although different perioperative factors can predispose to cerebral oxygenation changes, arterial blood pressure seems to be the most important. Gestation as another possible risk factor needs further investigation. Trial registration The international registration number NCT02423369. Retrospectively registered on April 2015.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children undergoing open heart surgery are at risk of neurological injury. A cohort of 35 patients, who had undergone cardiac surgery during infancy, had a significant reduction in Bayley Scale of Infant Development scores at a 12-month assessment. This cohort has now reached an appropriate age to reassess developmental progress. METHODS Detailed psychometric testing was conducted on 20 children from the original cohort using the Weschler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, the Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning, and the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test. Parents completed the Connor's Rating Scale, the Behaviour Rating Scale of Executive Functioning, and the Child Behaviour Checklist. RESULTS The mean age of the cohort at assessment was 6.6 (standard deviation 0.4) years. Mean scores on all tests of intelligence, memory, academic achievement, and executive function fell within the average range. Of the children, 20-35% were found to have significant difficulties across these areas. Mean scores in the areas of social, emotional, behavioural, and psychological functioning also fell within the average range. Of the children studied, 35% had clinically significant problems in these areas. There was only a weak association between the 12-month scores and the Full-Scale Intelligence Quotient at 6 years. CONCLUSION Detailed psychometric testing of these children suggests that they generally function in the average range; however, a significant proportion falls below age expectations in all the areas assessed. This highlights the importance of long-term follow-up with routine developmental screening to allow identification of a subgroup that may benefit from early educational and behavioural intervention.

BACKGROUND Neurodevelopmental disability is the most common complication for survivors of surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD). METHODS We analyzed individual participant data from studies of children evaluated with the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, second edition, after cardiac surgery between 1996 and 2009. The primary outcome was Psychomotor Development Index (PDI), and the secondary outcome was Mental Development Index (MDI). RESULTS Among 1770 subjects from 22 institutions, assessed at age 14.5 ± 3.7 months, PDIs and MDIs (77.6 ± 18.8 and 88.2 ± 16.7, respectively) were lower than normative means (each P < .001). Later calendar year of birth was associated with an increased proportion of high-risk infants (complexity of CHD and prevalence of genetic/extracardiac anomalies). After adjustment for center and type of CHD, later year of birth was not significantly associated with better PDI or MDI. Risk factors for lower PDI were lower birth weight, white race, and presence of a genetic/extracardiac anomaly (all P ≤ .01). After adjustment for these factors, PDIs improved over time (0.39 points/year, 95% confidence interval 0.01 to 0.78; P = .045). Risk factors for lower MDI were lower birth weight, male gender, less maternal education, and presence of a genetic/extracardiac anomaly (all P < .001). After adjustment for these factors, MDIs improved over time (0.38 points/year, 95% confidence interval 0.05 to 0.71; P = .02). CONCLUSIONS Early neurodevelopmental outcomes for survivors of cardiac surgery in infancy have improved modestly over time, but only after adjustment for innate patient risk factors. As more high-risk CHD infants undergo cardiac surgery and survive, a growing population will require significant societal resources.

Cerebral blood flow velocity and neurodevelopmental outcome in infants undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease. Ann Thorac Surg 2014; 98:125-32. [PMID: 24820395 DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2014.03.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2013] [Revised: 03/10/2014] [Accepted: 03/26/2014] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) measured by transcranial Doppler sonography has provided information on cerebral perfusion in patients undergoing infant heart surgery, but no studies have reported a relationship to early postoperative and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes. METHODS CBFV was measured in infants undergoing biventricular repair without aortic arch reconstruction as part of a trial of hemodilution during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB); CBFV (Vm, mean; Vs, systolic; Vd, end-diastolic) in the middle cerebral artery and change in Vm (rVm) were measured intraoperatively and up to 18 hours post-CPB. Neurodevelopmental outcomes, measured at 1 year of age, included the psychomotor development index (PDI) and mental development index (MDI) of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development-II. RESULTS CBFV was measured in 100 infants; 43 with D-transposition of the great arteries, 36 with tetralogy of Fallot, and 21 with ventricular septal defects. Lower Vm, Vs, Vd, and rVm at 18 hours post-CPB were independently related to longer intensive care unit duration of stay (p<0.05). In the 85 patients who returned for neurodevelopmental testing, lower Vm, Vs, Vd, and rVm at 18 hours post-CPB were independently associated with lower PDI (p<0.05) and MDI (p<0.05, except Vs: p=0.06) scores. Higher Vs and rVm at 18 hours post-CPB were independently associated with increased incidence of brain injury on magnetic resonance imaging in 39 patients. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative CBFV after biventricular repair is related to early postoperative and neurodevelopmental outcomes at 1 year of age, possibly indicating that low CBFV is a marker of suboptimal postoperative hemodynamics and cerebral perfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous research on developmental outcomes of infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) has shown delays in both cognitive and motor skills. AIMS To describe outcomes on the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 3rd edition (Bayley-III) for infants with CHD and to compare those findings to published results for similar samples of infants assessed on the 2nd edition of the Bayley Scales (BSID-II). STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort. PARTICIPANTS AND OUTCOME MEASURES Of 50 infants with CHD who participated in this longitudinal study (2006-2008) at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, 47 were assessed on the Bayley-III (median age=24.5 months), administered by a psychologist or neonatologist. Although neither assessor was blind to the CHD diagnosis, they were unaware of results of previous developmental assessments conducted in this longitudinal study. RESULTS For the Bayley-III cognitive composite score, 17.0% of infants showed mild delays (1-2 SD below the mean), 2.1% had moderate delays (2-3 SD below the mean), and none had severe delays (greater than 3 SD below the mean). Motor composite scores showed mild delays in 10.9% of infants and moderate delays in 2.2%; none had severe motor delays. These findings differ from study results using the BSID-II in similar infants. CONCLUSIONS The Bayley-III may underestimate developmental delay in 2-year-old children with CHD when compared to results of similar children tested at 12-36 months of age on the BSID-II.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The newest measure of neurodevelopmental outcomes, the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 3rd Edition (Bayley-III), gives higher-than-expected scores for preterm infants; results after cardiac surgery are unknown. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to report Bayley-III scores after cardiac surgery and compare the results with those of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, 2nd Edition (BSID-II) on a subset of the same children. METHODS In this prospective, inception cohort, neurodevelopmental outcome study after complex cardiac surgery in infants from 2004 to 2007, the Bayley-III was given to 110 survivors (68% boys) at a mean age of 21 months (SD: 4 months). Analysis of variance was used to compare intergroup differences. Results for both test editions on the same 25 children were compared by using paired-samples statistics. RESULTS Mean (SD) Bayley-III mean composite scores (CSs) for 110 children were as follows: cognitive, 95.9 (14.1); language, 90.8 (18.1); and motor, 93.7 (14.2), differentiating selected cardiac surgery groups. The average difference in mean CSs was 7.4 points higher than BSID-II scores for a previous cohort from this site and 7.2 points higher than a systematic review report. Direct comparison of BSID-II and Bayley-III revealed an average difference in mean CSs of 6.1 points, similar to normative results. Mean cognitive CSs increased by 10.0 (P <.001), language by 1.4 (P = .526), and motor by 6.9 points (P = .009). CONCLUSIONS Researchers should be careful attributing higher Bayley-III scores to changes in acute care. At-risk children who previously qualified for early developmental intervention may no longer do so. School-age longitudinal studies are needed to determine the accuracy of early developmental estimates using the Bayley-III.

Abstract
AIM To describe neurodevelopmental outcomes of neonates following cardiac or non-cardiac surgery for major birth defects. METHODS From 1 June 2002 to 31 July 2004, infants born ≥ 33 weeks gestation who underwent major birth defect surgery were enrolled prospectively. Infants were assessed at a mean corrected age of 24 months (standard deviation (SD) = 8 months, range 18-36 months) using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development: Second Edition. RESULTS Of the 118 study infants, 79 (66%) were male, the mean gestation was 38.5 weeks (SD 1.9 weeks) and mean birthweight was 3194 g (SD 653 g). Forty-five infants (47%) had undergone general surgery for non-cardiac defects. The majority of infants (73%) performed below average in cognitive and language skills. Mental delay was found in 41% of infants; 16% were significantly delayed. Fine and gross motor skills were below average in 60% of infants. Twenty-six percent of infants had motor delay; 9% were significantly delayed. Both the mean Mental Development Index (M = 88, SD = 19.8) and mean Psychomotor Development Index (M = 93, SD = 19.3) were significantly below the normative mean (d = 0.8, P < 0.001 and d = 0.5, P < 0.001, respectively). One in five children had global developmental delay. There was no significant difference in outcome between the cardiac and general surgery groups. CONCLUSIONS The majority of infants performed below average on a standardised test of infant development. Our results show that infants requiring newborn surgery for major birth defects are at high risk of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. We recommend that follow-up programmes include systematic multidisciplinary developmental monitoring and early intervention.

Abstract
CONTEXT Brain injury is the most common long-term complication of congenital heart disease requiring surgery during infancy. It is clear that the youngest patients undergoing cardiac surgery, primarily neonates and young infants, are at the greatest risk for brain injury. Developmental anomalies sustained early in life have lifelong repercussions. OBJECTIVE We conducted a systematic review to examine longitudinal studies of cognitive and/or motor outcome after cardiac surgery during early infancy. METHODS Electronic searches were performed in Medline, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (Cinahl), and Embase (1998-2008). The search strategy yielded 327 articles, of which 65 were reviewed. Eight cohorts provided prospective data regarding the cognitive and/or motor outcome of infants who had undergone surgery for congenital heart disease before 6 months of age. Two authors, Ms Snookes and Dr Gunn, independently extracted data and presented results according to 3 subgroups for age of follow-up: early development (1 to <3 years); preschool age (3-5 years); and school age (>5 to 17 years). Weighted analysis was undertaken to pool the results of studies when appropriate. RESULTS All of the identified studies reported results of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development for children younger than the age of 3. Outcome data as reported by the Bayley Scales were combined for infants assessed at 1 year of age, revealing a weighted mean Mental Development Index of 90.3 (95% confidence interval: 88.9-91.6) and Psychomotor Development Index of 78.1 (95% confidence interval: 76.4-79.7). Additional analysis was limited by a lack of data at preschool and school age. CONCLUSIONS With this review we identified a limited number of prospective studies that systematically addressed outcome in patients at the highest risk. These studies consistently revealed cognitive and motor delay in children after cardiac surgery during early infancy. Additional investigation is required to ascertain the consequences of such impairment during later childhood and into adult life.

Abstract
Background—
The Norwood procedure for stage 1 palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome is performed with either the modified Blalock-Taussig (MBTS) or the right ventricle–to–pulmonary artery (RVPA) shunt. In our institution, surgical practice changed from use of the MBTS to use of the RVPA shunt in 2002. We analyzed survival and mental and psychomotor outcomes of the 2 consecutive surgical eras.
Methods and Results—
Between September 1996 and July 2005, 94 neonates with hypoplastic left heart syndrome underwent the Norwood procedure. Patients were recruited as neonates and followed up prospectively. Health, mental, and psychomotor outcomes (Bayley Scales of Infant Development-II) were assessed at 2 years. The study subjects were from the Norwood-MBTS era (n=62; 1996 to 2002) or the Norwood-RVPA era (n=32; 2002 to 2005). In the MBTS era, early and 2-year mortality rates were 23% (14/62) and 52% (32/62); the mean (SD) mental and psychomotor developmental indices were 79 (18) and 67 (19). In the RVPA era, early and 2-year mortality rates were 6% (2/32) and 19% (6/32); the mean (SD) mental and psychomotor developmental indices were 85 (18) and 78 (18). The 2-year mortality rate (
P
=0.002) and the psychomotor developmental index (
P
=0.029) were improved in the more recent surgical era. On multivariable Cox regression analysis, postoperative highest serum lactate independently predicted 2-year mortality in the MBTS and RVPA eras.
Conclusions—
Analysis of 2 consecutive surgical eras of hypoplastic left heart syndrome patients undergoing the Norwood procedure showed a significant improvement in 2-year survival and psychomotor development in the more recent era. Adverse neurodevelopmental outcome in this patient population remains a concern.

Abstract
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to characterize newborns that underwent cardiac surgery in a private hospital, a reference center in neonatal cardiac surgery, in the city of Sõ Paulo. Data were collected from medical reports from July, 2001 to December, 2005. Newborns with gestational age of more than 35 weeks were included in the study. Newborns that died on the first 48 postoperative hours and with other malformations were excluded. Most of the neonates were term, weighted 2500 grams or more, and underwent surgery in the first week of life. There were 24 different diagnoses identified and 14 different types of surgery performed. In the first post-operative day, all newborns had invasive devices for vital signs monitoring or for treatment and life support, which shows not only the complexity of the treatment but the need for planning and organizing health services in order to provide adequate care for these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Neonatal complex cardiac surgery carries a significant risk for adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. We hypothesized this risk to be higher in patients with deletion 22q11.2. METHODS From 1996 to 2004, neonates who had complex cardiac surgery at age 6 weeks or less had multisite, multidisciplinary health and neurodevelopmental outcomes (Bayley Scales of Infant Development II; mental and psychomotor developmental indices [MDI, PDI] as mean [SD] and delay [<70]) assessed at 18 to 24 months of age. All 16 patients with deletion 22q11.2 (group 1) were compared with 16 patients without deletion 22q11.2 (group 2) having undergone neonatal complex cardiac surgery at the same center and matched for cardiac lesion, socioeconomic status, and year of operation. Outcomes were compared by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS Heart lesions in each group consisted of 6 (37.5%) cases of interrupted aortic arch, 6 (37.5%) cases of truncus arteriosus, and 4 (25%) cases of tetralogy of Fallot. Outcomes were available for all survivors. Mortality was 3 (19%) and 1 (6%) in groups 1 and 2, respectively (P = .6). MDI and PDI scores were 66.1 (10.6) and 55.0 (9.4) for group 1 and 86.3 (14.6) and 82.3 (14.3) for group 2 (P < .001). Only deletion 22q11.2 was significant in stepwise multiple regression to predict MDI and PDI scores. Mental delay occurred in 8 (61.5%) of 13 in group 1 and 2 (13.8%) of 15 in group 2 (P = .016). Psychomotor delay occurred in 11 (84.6%) of 13 in group 1 and 1 (6.7%) of 15 in group 2 (P < .001). CONCLUSION Neonates affected by deletion 22q11.2 and having neonatal complex cardiac surgery have significantly worse neurodevelopmental outcome than do those without deletion 22q11.2.

Abstract
This study used population-based databases to ascertain birth defects and intellectual disability (ID), defined as full IQ < 70, in children born in Western Australia during 1980-99. Of the children surviving to 1 year (n = 474 285), 4.9% had birth defects and 1.3% ID. ID was identified in 7.9% of children with birth defects. After adjusting for sex, mother's age, race, parity, plurality, birthweight and gestational age the prevalence ratio (PR) [95% confidence interval (CI)] for ID in children with birth defects compared with those with no birth defects was 7.6 [7.2, 8.0]. Those with chromosomal anomalies comprised 3.2% of the group with birth defects. The percentage ID (and PR [95% CI]) in specific categories were: Down's syndrome 97% (84.5 [79.4, 90.0]), sex chromosome anomalies 30.3% (31.0 [23.8, 40.3]), other chromosomal anomalies 64.2% (54.2 [47.2, 62.3]). Birth defects were categorised according to system in the 96.8% of children with non-chromosomal anomalies. The percentage with ID (and PR [95% CI]) for birth defects in each system were: spina bifida 18.8 (16.7 [12.2, 23.0]); nervous (except spina bifida) 38.6 (33.4 [30.3, 36.9]); cardiovascular 4.2 (4.1 [3.5, 4.8]); gastro-intestinal 2.2 (2.0 [1.5, 2.7]); urogenital 2.6 (2.4 [2.0, 2.8]; musculo-skeletal 3.6 (4.0 [3.5, 4.6]); other non-chromosomal 7.0 (7.3 [6.5, 8.3]); and multiple systems 12.3 (10.2 [8.6, 12.2]). Birth defects were present in 30.2% of children with ID (27.7% of children with mild/moderate ID (IQ 40-69) and 54% of children with severe ID (IQ < 40)). Adjusted PRs for birth defects in children with any ID, mild/moderate ID and severe ID compared with children with normal intellectual function were 6.0 [5.8, 6.3], 5.5 [5.3, 5.8] and 10.5 [9.7, 11.4] respectively. The data are useful for those providing services for children with developmental disabilities especially for predicting family support and respite and accommodation requirements for children and adults with severe ID.
