Risk factors for early secondary infections after cardiopulmonary bypass in children with congenital heart disease: a single-center analysis of 265 cases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Infections after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) represent a significant challenge in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), impacting the length of hospital stay, treatment costs, and clinical outcomes. The present study aimed to investigate the risk factors associated with early secondary infections after CPB in CHD children, thereby providing a theoretical foundation for enhancing clinical strategies to prevent and manage postoperative secondary infections.
