| Factor | Worse working memory |
| Description | Of GMI subscale medians, CHD subjects had significantly worse memory performance vs. healthy control (verbal 88 vs.105, p<0.001; attention 88 vs. 109, p<0.001; working memory 86 vs. 108, p<0.001). |
| Biomarker | NA |

| Application | prognosis |
| Objective | to identify predictors of memory deficits in adolescents and young adults with CHD after surgical palliation compared to healthy controls. |
| p Value | <0.001 |
| Conclusion | Adolescents and young adults with CHD, more than a decade since their last surgery, show significant verbal, attention, and working memory deficits over controls. To enhance patient memory/self-care, clinicians should explore ways to reduce anxiety, improve self-efficacy, and increase use of visual patient education material, especially in CHD males. |
