Abstract
MENDOZA-SANCHEZ, Viviana et al. Neurodevelopment in children with congenital heart disease at 30 months of age. Rev. mex. pediatr. [online]. 2019, vol.86, n.4, pp.143-146. Epub Oct 02, 2020. ISSN 0035-0052.
Objective:
To describe the neurodevelopmental status of patients with complex congenital heart disease (CCHD), who underwent cardiac surgery in the neonatal period.
Material and methods:
Through a longitudinal, observational and retrospective study, we included 14 patients. Neurodevelopment was assessed through the Bayley II child development scale, at the age of 30 months.
Results:
The average age at the time of surgery was 19 days. The most frequent heart disease was aortic coarctation (43%). Of the total, 29% had low cognitive development, and 50% with abnormal psychomotor development.
Conclusions:
Pediatric patients with CCHD after surgery have a high risk of presenting neurological deficit, predominantly in the psychomotor area.
Keywords : Neurodevelopment; congenital heart disease; neurological deficit.
