Cognitive Outcomes and Delirium After Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Program Implementation for Children With Congenital Heart Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

A recent advisory from the American Heart Association delineated the potential benefits of developmental care for hospitalized children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and a critical gap in research evaluating the association of such inpatient programs with neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Objective

To investigate associations between the Cardiac Inpatient Neurodevelopmental Care Optimization (CINCO) program interventions, delirium, and neurodevelopment in young children (newborn through age 2 years) hospitalized with CHD.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study used quality improvement data from inpatient cardiac units at a tertiary care children's hospital in the US. Participants were children aged 0 to 2 years who were admitted for at least 7
