PS-297a Catch-up-growth In Term And Preterm Infants After Surgical Closure Of Ventricular Septal Defect In The First Year Of Life: Only Good News?

Abstract

ECMO, both of whom survived to discharge as did all babies who underwent surgical repair of the CDH. Conclusion There was an 11.1% mortality rate increase amongst the cohort studied when compared with the preceding 5 year block. A notably lower termination rate (28% vs. 50%) could possibly account for this, in addition to associated anomalies as above. Variations in management approach within the team was observed leading to the subsequent formulation of an evidence based protocol to improve care quality and future outcomes as current evidence suggests.
