Implication

Observational analysis found high mortality rates associated with non-cardiac surgery in children with congenital heart disease, suggesting critical need for improved preoperative care.

Key Points

The study revealed that infants with congenital heart disease faced a mortality rate of 28.9% and 45.4% on the 7th and 30th post-operative days, respectively.
Significant findings showed that preterm neonates had a 2.16-fold higher mortality rate compared to mature neonates undergoing non-cardiac surgery.
Analysis included 152 case records, employing binary and multivariable logistic regression to identify variables related to post-operative mortality.
Mortality risks suggest that age, severity of congenital heart disease, and timing of surgery significantly impact survival outcomes in this patient group.
