Congenital heart diseases with airway stenosis: a predictive nomogram to risk-stratify patients without airway intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study focused on congenital heart disease (CHD) patients complicated with airway stenosis (AS) without airway intervention and aimed to identify the patients with potential risks.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with CHD and AS were enrolled in this retrospective study. The primary outcome was defined as a postoperative mechanical ventilation duration of more than two weeks. We constructed a prediction model to predict the risk of prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV).

Results

A total of 185 patients diagnosed with CHD and AS in Fuwai Hospital from July 2009 to December 2022 were included in the study. Weight at CHD surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) duration, complex CHD and comorbid tracheobronchomalacia were identified as risk factors and included in
