Factor CHD recognition route C versus A (outcome 2 measured by death)
Description For outcome measure 2 (death), odds ratios are presented unadjusted for any other risk factor. Three routes to the patients’ initial diagnosis of CHD were considered: (A) antenatal diagnosis; (B) diagnosis before discharge from the maternity unit; and (C) diagnosis after discharge to home.
Biomarker NA
Classification A3 (clinical factor - disease & symptom)
Association
Application risk assessment and prognosis
Objective To assess whether the route by which neonatal congenital heart disease (CHD) is first recognised influences outcome after surgery.
p Value 0.04
OR 0.33
Conclusion The setting in which neonatal CHD is first recognised has an impact on preoperative condition, which in turn influences postoperative progress and survival after surgery. Optimal screening procedures and access to specialist care will improve outcome for neonates undergoing cardiac surgery.
