Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to determine the effect of perioperative amplitude‑integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) on neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants with congenital heart disease (CHD). A total of 93 children with CHD were included in the current study. All patients enrolled in the present study had undergone cardiac surgery prior to 3 months of age and pre‑ or postoperative aEEG was monitored. Participants were assessed after 1 year using the Bayley Scales of Infant Test. A total of 82.2% of infants exhibited continuous normal voltage preoperatively (CNV) and 93.7% exhibited CNV postoperatively. Seizures were indicated in 2 infants preoperatively and 3 infants postoperatively. Compared with infants with PDI, infants with cyanotic CHD (β=17.218) exhibited a significantly lower MDI, an increased length of intensive care stay, and lower PDI scores (β=‑0.577). Infants that underwent surgery with CPB exhibited higher PDI scores (β=11.956). Infants that exhibited behavioral problems also had lower PDI scores (β=‑10.605). An abnormal preoperative background pattern and an absent postoperative SWC independently predicted poorer motor (P=0.014) and cognitive (P=0.049) outcomes at 1 year. The current study demonstrated that infants with CHD who underwent cardiac surgery prior to 3 months of age exhibited delayed neurodevelopmental outcomes, and that an aEEG assessment can aid in predicting these outcomes following surgery.
