Despite the known mental health burden among children with congenital heart disease (CHD), literature is constrained by a lack of comparison cohorts and population-based follow-up data. We examined incidence conditions CHD, relative to 3 cohorts.This cohort study identified all CHD (<18 years age; n=16 473) in Denmark from 1996 2017, through linkage individual-level data across national registries. This allowed for complete population. Comparison included general population (n=162 204),...
Hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) in premature infants has been associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH). However, these associations remain incompletely understood.
ABSTRACT Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rare, complex disease affecting both children and adults. Efforts to provide health education are imperative as literacy impacts patient caregiver capacity acquire, process, understand information make informed decisions. The current study sought family perception of “Hank the Heart”, an animation used for enhancing literacy, preferred learning methods future educational preferences. A qualitative was conducted assess Heart” using focus groups...
Background Low 5-minute Apgar scores (AS) are predictive of term and preterm neonatal mortality but have not been well studied in the critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) population. We analyzed US national vital statistics data to evaluate association between depression (AS 0-3) 1-year CCHD. Methods Results performed a retrospective cohort study using 2014 2018 Centers for Disease Control Prevention cohort-linked birth certificate infant death records. Five-minute AS were categorized as...
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) survivors are at risk for long-term exercise impairment and pulmonary morbidity, but the generalizability of prior reported cohorts limited by reduced disease severity older surgical eras. We assessed mid-childhood function outcomes in a contemporary cohort CDH survivors.In this retrospective study, we identified 36 consecutive pediatric who underwent cardiopulmonary testing (CPET) spirometry from 2014 to 2021. Inferential statistics compared with age-,...
Abstract Parenteral prostanoid therapy (PPT) can result in supranormal cardiac index (SCI; >4 L/min/m 2 ) pediatric pulmonary hypertension (PPH) patients. We evaluated the incidence, hemodynamic factors, and outcomes associated with SCI PPH. This retrospective cohort study included 22 PPH patients on PPT from 2005 to 2020. Hemodynamic profiles were compared between baseline 3–6 month follow‐up catheterization non‐SCI cohorts. Cox regression analysis examined time composite adverse outcome...
Abstract Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH) through a complex and bidirectional relationship. The prevalence of OSA other forms sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) among children PH is not well understood. A better understanding could help elucidate contributing factors for PH, guide diagnostic testing, inform therapies. We therefore determined the proportion SDB codiagnosis risk cohort PH. Methods Retrospective chart review was...
