Abstract

Over a decade ago, I co-authored a review in Cardiology in the Young regarding neurological outcomes following surgery for congenital cardiac disease. 1 In that review, I placed much emphasis on the conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass, and its role in neurodevelopmental disabilities. Much has been learned in the intervening years regarding the multifactorial causes of abnormal school-age development, in particular, the role of prenatal, perioperative, socioeconomic, and genetic influences. In this update, I will highlight some of the recent advances in our understanding of the protean causes of neurological, behavioral, and developmental abnormalities in children and young adults with complex forms of congenital cardiac disease. In addition, I will summarize the current data on patients at particular high-risk for adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, specifically those with a functionally univentricular heart who have had staged reconstruction with ultimate conversion to the Fontan circulation.

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.
