Abstract
IMPORTANCE Clinical studies of neurodevelopmental outcomes after anesthetic exposure have evaluated a range of outcomes with mixed results. OBJECTIVE To examine via meta-analyses the associations between exposure to general anesthesia and domain-specific neurodevelopmental outcomes in children. DATA SOURCES PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to August 31, 2021. STUDY SELECTION Inclusion criteria were exposures to procedures requiring general anesthesia at younger than 18 years and evaluation of long-term neurodevelopmental function after exposure. Studies lacking unexposed controls or focused on children with major underlying comorbidities were excluded. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Extracted variables included effect size; hazard, risk, or odds ratio; number of exposures; procedure type; major comorbidities; age of exposure and assessment; presence of unexposed controls; and study design. Studies were independently reviewed by 2 coders, and review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Data were pooled using a random-effects model. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The main outcomes were standardized mean differences (SMD) for scores in the neurodevelopmental domains of academics, behavioral problems, cognition, executive function, general development, language, motor function, nonverbal reasoning, social cognition, and hazard and risk of neurodevelopmental disorder diagnoses. RESULTS A total of 31 studies contributed data for meta-analysis. For each of the assessed neurodevelopmental domains, the numbers of children evaluated ranged from 571 to 63 315 exposed and 802 to 311 610 unexposed. Children with any exposure (single or multiple) had significantly worse behavioral problems scores, indicating more behavioral problems (SMD, -0.10; 95% CI, -0.18 to -0.02; P = .02), and worse scores in academics (SMD, -0.07; 95% CI -0.12 to -0.01; P = .02), cognition (SMD, -0.03; 95% CI, -0.05 to 0.00; P = .03), executive function (SMD, -0.20; 95% CI, -0.32 to -0.09; P < .001), general development (SMD, -0.08; 95% CI, -0.13 to -0.02; P = .01), language (SMD, -0.08; 95% CI, -0.14 to -0.02; P = .01), motor function (SMD, -0.11; 95% CI, -0.21 to -0.02; P = .02), and nonverbal reasoning (SMD, -0.15; 95% CI, -0.27 to -0.02; P = .02). Higher incidences of neurodevelopmental disorder diagnoses were also reported (hazard ratio, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.09 to 1.30; P < .001; risk ratio, 1.81; 95% CI, 1.25 to 2.61; P = .002). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE These findings support the hypothesis that associations between anesthetic exposure during childhood and subsequent neurodevelopmental deficits differ based on neurodevelopmental domain.

Neurocognitive functioning and health-related quality of life of children after pediatric intensive care admission: a systematic review. Qual Life Res 2022; 31:2601-2614.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study systematically reviewed recent findings on neurocognitive functioning and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children after pediatric intensive care unit admission (PICU). DATA SOURCES Electronic databases searched included Embase, Medline Ovid, Web of Science, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Google Scholar. The search was limited to studies published in the last five years (2015-2019). STUDY SELECTION Original studies assessing neurocognitive functioning or HRQoL in children who were previously admitted to the PICU were included in this systematic review. DATA EXTRACTION Of the 3649 identified studies, 299 met the inclusion criteria based on title abstract screening. After full-text screening, 75 articles were included in the qualitative data reviewing: 38 on neurocognitive functioning, 33 on HRQoL, and 4 on both outcomes. DATA SYNTHESIS Studies examining neurocognitive functioning found overall worse scores for general intellectual functioning, attention, processing speed, memory, and executive functioning. Studies investigating HRQoL found overall worse scores for both physical and psychosocial HRQoL. On the short term (≤ 12 months), most studies reported HRQoL impairments, whereas in some long-term studies HRQoL normalized. The effectiveness of the few intervention studies during and after PICU admission on long-term outcomes varied. CONCLUSIONS PICU survivors have lower scores for neurocognitive functioning and HRQoL than children from the general population. A structured follow-up program after a PICU admission is needed to identify those children and parents who are at risk. However, more research is needed into testing interventions in randomized controlled trials aiming on preventing or improving impairments in critically ill children during and after PICU admission.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to investigate the change in functional status in infants, children, and adolescents undergoing congenital heart surgery using the Functional Status Scale. DESIGN A single-center retrospective study. SETTING A 26-bed cardiac ICU in a free-standing university-affiliated tertiary children's hospital. PATIENTS All patients 0-18 years who underwent congenital heart surgery from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2017. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MIN RESULTS The primary outcome variable was change in Functional Status Scale scores from admission to discharge. Additionally, two binary outcomes were derived from the primary outcome: new morbidity (change in Functional Status Scale ≥ 3) and unfavorable functional outcome (change in Functional Status Scale ≥ 5); their association with risk factors was assessed using modified Poisson regression. Out of 1,398 eligible surgical encounters, 65 (4.6%) and 15 (1.0%) had evidence of new morbidity and unfavorable functional outcomes, respectively. Higher Surgeons Society of Thoracic and the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery score, single-ventricle physiology, and longer cardiopulmonary bypass time were associated with new morbidity. Longer hospital length of stay was associated with both new morbidity and unfavorable outcome. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates the novel application of the Functional Status Scale on patients undergoing congenital heart surgery. New morbidity was noted in 4.6%, whereas unfavorable outcome in 1%. There was a small change in the total Functional Status Scale score that was largely attributed to changes in the feeding domain. Higher Society of Thoracic and the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery score, single-ventricle physiology, and longer cardiopulmonary bypass times were associated with new morbidity, whereas longer hospital length of stay was associated with both new morbidity and unfavorable outcome. Further studies with larger sample size will need to be done to confirm our findings and to better ascertain the utility of Functional Status Scale on this patient population.

DEUTSCHES ARZTEBLATT INTERNATIONAL 2021; 118:835-841.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Experimental data have shown that the developing brain is especially vulnerable to exogenous noxious substances. The potential effects of anesthetic drugs on brain growth and development are a matter of concern. Clinical studies of children who underwent general anesthesia in their earliest years can make a major contribution to our understanding of the effects of anesthetic drugs on infants and toddlers (i.e., children under age 5). METHODS Children born at term during the years 2007-2011 who were exposed to general anesthesia before their third birthday were included in the study. Data on general anesthesia were retrospectively evaluated, and the overall intelligence quotient (IQ) was determined prospectively as the primary target parameter. Children who had not been exposed to general anesthesia were recruited as a control group. The non-inferiority threshold was set at a difference of 5 IQ points out of a consideration of clinical relevance. RESULTS 430 complete data sets were available from exposed children and 67 from members of the control group. The exposed group achieved a mean IQ score of 108.2, with a 95% confidence interval of [107; 109.4]; the corresponding values in the control group were 113 [110; 116.1]. Both groups achieved a mean score that was higher than the expected 100 points. After adjustment for age, socioeconomic status, and sex, the difference between the two groups was 2.9 points [0.2; 5.6], indicating a significantly better outcome in the control group than in the exposed group. The non-inferiority threshold of 5 IQ points was within the confidence interval; thus, non-inferiority was not demonstrated. CONCLUSION The fact that both groups achieved a higher IQ score than the expected 100 points may be attributable, at least in part, to the restriction of the study to children born at term. The results indicate that general anesthesia in early childhood is not associated with markedly reduced intelligence in later years, although non-inferiority could not be demonstrated.

Abstract
Diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart disease (CHD) can present challenges to the developing parent-child relationship due to periods of infant hospitalization and intensive medical care, parent-infant separations, child neurodevelopmental delay and feeding problems, and significant parent and child distress and trauma. Yet, the ways in which CHD may affect the parent-child relationship are not well-understood. We systematically reviewed the evidence on parental bonding, parent-child interaction, and child attachment following CHD diagnosis, according to a pre-registered protocol (CRD42019135687). Six electronic databases were searched for English-language studies comparing a cardiac sample (i.e., expectant parents or parents and their child aged 0-5 years with CHD) with a healthy comparison group on relational outcomes. Of 22 unique studies, most used parent-report measures (73%) and yielded mixed results for parental bonding and parent-child interaction quality. Observational results also varied, although most studies (4 of 6) found difficulties in parent-child interaction on one or more affective or behavioural domains (e.g., lower maternal sensitivity, lower infant responsiveness). Research on parental-fetal bonding, father-child relationships, and child attachment behaviour was lacking. Stronger evidence is needed to determine the nature, prevalence, and predictors of relational disruptions following CHD diagnosis, and to inform targeted screening, prevention, and early intervention programs for at-risk dyads.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infants born with critical congenital heart disease (cCHD) who require surgical intervention in the newborn period are often hospitalized in a cardiac intensive care unit (CICU). Cardiac surgery and the CICU environment are traumatic to infants and their families. Infants are exposed to overwhelming stress, which can result in increased pain, physiologic instability, behavioral disorganization, disrupted attachment, and altered brain development. Individualized Family-centered Developmental Care (IFDC) is a model that can address the unique needs and developmental challenges of infants with cCHD. PURPOSE The purpose of this article is to (1) clearly describe the uniqueness of the infant with cCHD, including the medical, neurological, and parental challenges, and (2) propose methods to apply IFDC to support recovery of infants with cCHD in the CICU. CONCLUSIONS The experiences in the CICU shape the developing brain and alter recovery and healing, thus adversely impacting development. Individualized Family-centered Developmental Care is a promising model of care that nurses can integrate into the CICU to promote neuroprotection and development. Nurses can effectively integrate IFDC into the CICU by understanding the unique characteristics of infants with cCHD and applying IFDC interventions that include both maturity and recovery perspectives. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS The incorporation of IFDC interventions is essential for the infant with cCHD and should be a standard of care. Applying IFDC with a recovery perspective in all aspects of caregiving will provide opportunities for individualization of care and parent engagement, allowing infants in the CICU to recover from surgery while supporting both short- and long-term neurodevelopment.

Abstract
Neurodegeneration has been reported in young animals after exposure to all commonly used general anesthetic agents. The brain may be particularly vulnerable to anesthetic toxicity during peak synaptogenesis (in gestation and infancy). Human studies of long-term neurodevelopmental outcome following general anesthesia in early childhood report contradictory findings. This review assesses the strengths and deficiencies in human research methodologies to inform future studies. We identified 76 studies, published between 1990 and 2017, of long-term neurodevelopmental outcome following early childhood or in utero general anesthesia exposure: 49 retrospective, 9 ambidirectional, 17 prospective cohort studies, and 1 randomized controlled trial. Forty-nine studies were explicitly concerned with anesthetic-induced neurotoxicity. Full texts were appraised for methodological challenges and possible solutions. Major challenges identified included delineating effects of anesthesia from surgery, defining the timing and duration of exposure, selection of a surgical cohort and intervention, addressing multiple confounding life course factors, detecting modest neurotoxic effects with small sample sizes (median, 131 children; interquartile range, 50–372), selection of sensitive neurodevelopmental outcomes at appropriate ages for different developmental domains, insufficient length of follow-up (median age, 6 years; interquartile range, 2–12 years), and sample attrition. We discuss potential solutions to these challenges. Further adequately powered, multicenter, prospective randomized controlled trials of anesthetic-induced neurotoxicity in children are required. However, we believe that the inherent methodological challenges of studying anesthetic-induced neurotoxicity necessitate the parallel use of well-designed observational cohort studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common causes of infant admission to pediatric intensive care and is associated with profound psychological stress for mothers, fathers and their infants. Intensive care unit admission represents an opportunity to offer evidence-based strategies to prevent or minimize severe psychological distress and promote secure bonding and attachment, alongside high-quality infant medical care. OBJECTIVES We aimed to identify, synthesize and critically appraise published evidence on the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of mental health interventions delivered in neonatal, pediatric or cardiac intensive care units for parents of infants with CHD. A secondary goal was to develop recommendations for advancing health policy, practice and research in the field. METHODS In accordance with a prospectively registered protocol (CRD42019114507), six electronic databases were systematically searched for studies reporting results of a controlled trial of a mental health intervention for parents of infants aged 0-12 months with a congenital anomaly requiring intensive care unit admission. To maximize generalizability of results, trials involving infants with any type of structural congenital anomaly requiring surgery were included. Outcomes included intervention type, process, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness. RESULTS Across all forms of congenital anomaly, only five trials met inclusion criteria (four in CHD, one in gastrointestinal malformation). All interventions engaged parents face-to-face, but each had a distinct therapeutic approach (parent-infant interaction and bonding, early pediatric palliative care, psycho-education, parenting skills training, and family-centered nursing). Four of the five trials demonstrated efficacy in reducing maternal anxiety, although the quality of evidence was low. Positive results were also found for maternal coping, mother-infant attachment, parenting confidence and satisfaction with clinical care, as well as infant mental (but not psychomotor) development at 6 months. Mixed results were found for maternal depression and infant feeding. No evidence of efficacy was found for improving parent, infant or family quality of life, physical health or length of infant hospital stay, and there were no data on cost-effectiveness. CONCLUSIONS Stronger evidence for the efficacy of mental health interventions to buffer the effects of intensive care unit admission for parents of infants with CHD is urgently needed. Robust, high-quality trials are lacking, despite the established need and demand, and health policies prioritizing parent mental health care in the context of early childhood adversity are needed.
