Abstract:Objective We aimed to analyze somatic growth of patients after total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) as well as to identify factors influencing postoperative catch-up growth.
Methods A total of 309 patients undergoing TCPC at 4 years old or less between 1994 and 2021 were included. Weight for age z-score (WAZ) and height for age-z-score (HAZ) at TCPC and at postoperative time between 1 and 3 years were calculated. Factors influencing somatic growth were analyzed.
