Does gestational age impact neonatal morbidity in infants born with critical congenital heart disease?
In infants with critical congenital heart disease, birth at any gestational age outside of 39 to 42 weeks is associated with increased neonatal morbidity.
Infants born with CCHD are at high risk of neonatal morbidity. Morbidity remains increased across all GA groups in comparison with infants born at 39 to 42 weeks. This substantial risk of neonatal morbidity is important to consider when caring for this patient population.
