Apart from shunt type, subjects received the local standard of care. We evaluated variation in perioperative care during the Norwood hospitalization across 14 trial sites.<h4>Methods</h4>Data on preoperative, operative, and postoperative variables for 546 enrolled subjects who underwent the Norwood procedure were collected prospectively on standardized case report forms, and variation across the centers was described.<h4>Results</h4>Gestational age, birth weight, and proportion with hypoplastic left heart syndrome were similar across sites.
