| Factor | CHD with aortic obstruction (AO) |
| Description | Gender, premature birth (≤37 weeks), and CHD with aortic obstruction were predictive of executive dysfunction, especially for behavior regulation skills. The presence of CHD with aortic obstruction significantly increased risk for elevated scores on the Emotional Control and Organization of Materials scales. |

| Conclusion | School aged children with CHD have an increased prevalence of executive dysfunction, especially problems with working memory and flexibility, and are underserved by the school system. The increased risk for executive dysfunction in those with CHD and prematurity or CHD with aortic obstruction suggests an etiology of delayed brain development in the fetal and neonatal periods, while male gender may increase susceptibility to brain injury. |
