Neurodevelopmental Outcomes of Preterm and Growth-restricted Neonate with Congenital Heart Defect: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Overview
Affiliations
Conclusions: Based on a low level of evidence, prematurity and/or growth retardation appear to accentuate specific neurodevelopmental outcomes in certain CHD subgroups. Further evidence is needed to confirm these findings.
Trial Registration: PROSPERO [CRD42020201414].
What Is Known: • Children born with CHD, preterm birth, or growth restriction at birth are independently at higher risk for neurodevelopmental impairment. • The additional effect of preterm birth and/or growth restriction on neurodevelopmental outcomes in children with CHD remains unclear.
What Is New: • Prematurity and/or growth retardation appear to accentuate specific neurodevelopmental outcomes in certain CHD subgroups. • Children with CHD, particularly those born preterm or with growth restriction, should undergo lifelong systematic comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessment.
