Implementing neurodevelopmental follow-up care for children with congenital heart disease: A scoping review with evidence mapping.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To identify and map evidence describing components of neurodevelopmental follow-up care for children with congenital heart disease (CHD).

Method

This was a scoping review of studies reporting components of neurodevelopmental follow-up programmes/pathways for children with CHD. Eligible publications were identified through database searches, citation tracking, and expert recommendations. Two independent reviewers screened studies and extracted data. An evidence matrix was developed to visualize common characteristics of care pathways. Qualitative content analysis identified implementation barriers and enablers.

Results

The review included 33 studies. Twenty-one described individual care pathways across the USA (n = 14), Canada (n = 4), Australia (n = 2), and France
