Neurological features in infants with congenital heart disease.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To report neurological examination findings at 5 to 12 months of age in infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) and to identify predictors of abnormal neurological examination.

Method

This retrospective observational study included infants who required cardiac surgery at less than 3 months of age and underwent a standard neurological examination from a neurologist in the cardiac neurodevelopmental outpatient clinic between age 5 months and 12 months. Predictors for abnormal neurological examination (concerns on structured developmental history, demographic factors, medical history, and newborn neurodevelopmental assessment) were considered for multivariate regression.

Results

The sample included 127 infants (mean age 7mo 2wks), who underwent first cardiac surg
