Association of Home Monitoring and Unanticipated Interstage Readmissions in Infants With Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.

ABSTRACT: Background The impact of home monitoring on unanticipated interstage readmissions in infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome has not been previously studied. We sought to examine the association of our institution's Infant Single Ventricle Management and Monitoring Program (ISVMP) with readmission frequency, cumulative readmission days, and readmission illness severity and to identify patient-level risk factors for readmission. Methods and Results We performed a retrospective single-center cohort study comparing infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome enrolled in ISVMP (December 2010-December 2019) to historical controls (January 2007-November 2010). The primary outcome was number of readmissions per interstage days. Secondary outcomes were cumulative interstage readmission days
