This study aims to evaluate the incidence of neurological complications following pediatric cardiac surgery and identify factors linked to negative outcomes.
Retrospective analysis of 210 pediatric patients under 18 years
Included patients undergoing open-heart or major cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass
Used univariable logistic regression to assess associations between variables and outcomes
Postoperative neurological complications occurred in 20 patients (9.5%)
Prolonged ICU stay and intubation duration were noted in patients with complications (p < 0.001)
In-hospital mortality was observed in 18 patients (8.6%)
Several factors, including neurological complications and prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass, were linked to increased mortality
