Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Given excellent 30-day survival for pediatric cardiac surgery, other outcome measures are important. We aimed to study important early postoperative morbidities selected by stakeholders following a rigorous and evidenced-based process, with a view to identifying potential risk factors. METHODS: The incidence of selected morbidities was prospectively measured for 3090 consecutive pediatric cardiac surgical admissions in 5 UK centers between October 2015 and June 2017. The relationship between the candidate risk factors and the incidence of morbidities was explored using multiple regressions. Patient survival, a secondary outcome, was checked at 6 months. RESULTS: A total of 675 (21..
