Characteristics and outcomes of children with ductal-dependent congenital heart disease and esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula: A multi-institutional analysis

摘要: Abstract Background Extracardiac birth defects are associated with worse outcomes in congenital heart disease (CHD). The impact of esophageal atresia/trachea-esophageal fistula (EA/TEF) on after surgery for ductal-dependent CHD is unknown. Methods Retrospective matched cohort study using the Pediatric Health Information System database from 07/2004 to 06/2015. Hospitalizations and EA/TEF, undergoing were included as cases. Admissions without EA/TEF 3:1 age at admission Risk Adjustment Congenital Heart Surgery-1 classification. Comparisons performed generalized estimating equations. Results There 124 cases 372 controls. Cases 32 (25.8%) low-risk, 86 (69.3%) intermediate-risk, 6 (4.8%) high-risk patients. had more females compared controls (53.2% vs 41.1%, P = .022). likely be premature (28.2% 13.7%, P = .001) low weight (29.8% 11.8%, P  Conclusion In children CHD, increased morbidity, mortality resource utilization. A majority patients undergo repair prior surgery. (Surgery 2017;160:XXX-XXX.)
