Abstract

Cardiac abnormalities are the most common birth defects. Derangement of circulatory flow affects many vital organs; without proper supply of oxygenated blood, the brain is particularly vulnerable. Although surgical interventions have greatly reduced mortality rates, patients often suffer an array of neurological deficits throughout life. Neuroimaging provides a macroscopic assessment of brain injury and has shown that white matter (WM) is at risk. Oligodendrocytes and myelinated axons have been identified as major targets of WM injury, but still little is known about how congenital heart anomalies affect the brain at the cellular level. Further integration of animal model studies and clinical research will define novel therapeutic targets and new standards of care to prevent developmental delay associated with cardiac abnormalities.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
