ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study investigated the clinical course and prognostic factor of very low birth weight infants (VLBWI) with hemodynamically significant congenital heart defects (CHDs).METHODS:
Medical records of 1,098 VLBWI with birth weight or =Gr III), and periventricular leukomalacia. Cardiac surgery was performed on 13 patients (39%). Nine patients received staged operations, and 10 patients received early intervention. The overall mortality in patients who had CHD was higher than in the patients who did not have CHD (27% vs. 16%). In patients with CHD, congenital abnormalities or chromosomal disorders were more important factors for increased mortality (86% vs. 11%) than the degree of complexity of CHD (19% vs. 42%).CONCLUSION:
The most important prognostic factors of VLBWI with CHD are the associated congenital abnormalities or chromosomal disorders.
