Why the study?

Does neonatal anatomic repair of TGA allow for normal long-term growth in children with uncomplicated TGA?

23 children with uncomplicated transposition of the great arteries (TGA)

Comparison

Neonatal anatomic repair of TGA at a mean age of… vs Reference population and 35 normal siblings

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

mean 60 (12-90) months

Implication

Normal growth observed after neonatal TGA repair; supports reassuring counseling but leaves open prospective confirmation in broader cohorts.

Structured PICO

Does neonatal anatomic repair of TGA allow for normal long-term growth in children with uncomplicated TGA?

P
Population
23 children with uncomplicated transposition of the great arteries (TGA)
I
Intervention
Neonatal anatomic repair of TGA at a mean age of 11 days
C
Comparator
Reference population (internationally recognized standards) and 35 normal siblings
O
Outcome
Long-term growth (weight, height, and head circumference expressed as percentiles and Z scores)

Neonatal anatomic repair of uncomplicated TGA allows for normal long-term growth in weight and height comparable to normal siblings and reference populations.
