The goal of this statement was to review the available literature on surveillance, screening, evaluation, and management strategies put forward a scientific that would comprehensively create recommendations optimize neurodevelopmental outcome in pediatric congenital heart disease (CHD) population.A writing group appointed by American Heart Association Academy Pediatrics reviewed addressing developmental disorder disability delay CHD population, with specific attention given strategies....
Background— Survivors of the Norwood procedure may experience neurodevelopmental impairment. Clinical trials to improve outcomes have focused primarily on methods vital organ support during cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods and Results— In Single Ventricle Reconstruction trial with modified Blalock-Taussig shunt versus right-ventricle-to-pulmonary-artery shunt, 14-month outcome was assessed by use Psychomotor Development Index (PDI) Mental (MDI) Bayley Scales Infant Development-II. We used...
Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at risk for developmental delay (DD). Changes in cognitive, language, and motor skills early childhood have not been described. We report the results of a structured approach using longitudinal testing to identify problems ensure intervention accordance published guidelines.Bayley Scales Infant Development, Third Edition, were used assess 99 children CHD. Subjects evaluated 3 6 times first years life. DD was defined as scores >1 SD below...
Background Outcome of stage 1 palliation (S1P) for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) has improved coincident with application treatment strategies including continuous superior vena cava oximetry (SvO 2 ), phenoxybenzamine (POB), to minimize the duration deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) and efforts ameliorate inflammatory response cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) using aprotinin modified ultrafiltration. Methods Results Analysis a consecutive series 115 patients undergoing S1P was...
Few studies have explored the long-term function of cryopreserved homograft valves used for reconstruction right ventricular tract (RVOT) in patients with congenital heart disease.Among 205 receiving homografts RVOT between November 1985 and April 1999, outcome 220 183 operative survivors was analyzed. There were 150 pulmonary 70 aortic used. Median age at implantation 4.4 years (mean 6.9+/-7.6 years, range 3 days to 48 years). End points included (1) patient survival, (2) failure (valve...
Children with congenital heart disease are at risk for developmental delay. This study sought to identify early factors abnormal trajectories in children disease.Children high delay, without known genetic abnormality, and ≥3 assessments by the use of Bayley Scales Infant Toddler Development, Third Edition, were studied. Logistic regression was used assess impact patient clinical on cognitive, language, motor score trajectories; classified as: average or improved if all scores ≥85 (<1...
Abstract This scientific statement summarizes the current state of knowledge related to interstage home monitoring for infants with shunt‐dependent single ventricle heart disease. Historically, period has been defined as time discharge from initial palliative procedure second stage palliation. High mortality rates during led implementation in‐home surveillance strategies detect physiologic changes that may precede hemodynamic decompensation in Adoption practices associated significantly...
The purpose of this multicenter study was to confirm the validity and reliability Pediatric Cardiac Quality Life Inventory (PCQLI).Seven centers recruited pediatric patients (8-18 years age) with heart disease (HD) their parents complete PCQLI generic health-related quality life (Pediatric [PedsQL]) non-quality (Self-Perception Profile for Children [SPPC]/Self-Perception Adolescents [SPPA] Youth Self-Report [YSR]/Child Behavior Checklist [CBCL]) tools. construct assessed through correlations...
Objective Patients after Fontan operation for complex congenital heart disease (CHD) have decreased exercise capacity and report reduced health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Studies suggest hospital-based cardiac physical activity programs can improve HRQOL in patients with CHD; however, these variable adherence rates. The impact a home-based program survivors is unclear. This pilot study evaluated the safety, feasibility, benefits an innovative on patients. Methods A total 14 children,...
