CHD is associated with poor growth, delayed motor and language skills development, and increased length of hospital stay; 28.2% of infants were stunted, with z-scores<-2. The severity of surgery score was not associated with an increased length of stay, suggesting that a low weight-for-age z-score at the time of surgery may impact on length of stay.

Abstract

CHD is associated with poor growth, delayed motor and language skills development, and increased length of hospital stay; 28.2% of infants were stunted, with z-scores<-2. The severity of surgery score was not associated with an increased length of stay, suggesting that a low weight-for-age z-score at the time of surgery may impact on length of stay.
