Introduction: The management of neonates with congenital heart disease (CHD) may be complicated by necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), however, there is limited multicenter data describing the incidence and outcomes of NEC in the CHD population. Objective: We aimed to assess the incidence and risk factors for the development of NEC in neonates with major CHD and the impact on survival. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of neonates with CHD was performed for all index hospitalizations of neonates (<28 days) with major CHD between 2004 and 2014 using the Pediatric Health Information System database. The diagnosis of NEC was determined by the presence of ICD-9 code 777.5x. The incidence of NEC was determined as were risk factors for the development of NEC. Mortality was the primary outcome measure. Results: Of 38770 neonates with major CHD, 1448 (3.6%) were diagnosed with NEC. The rate of NEC varied between 0-8% by hospital and was not associated with hospital volume (p=0.4). Among neonates with a single, major CHD diagnosis, the rate of NEC was 6% in hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), 6% in truncus arteriosus (TA) , 4% in tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), 3% in aortic arch obstruction (AO), and 2% in transposition of the great arteries (TGA); these diagnoses accounted for 47% of all NEC. Prematurity and chromosomal anomalies were independently associated with the diagnosis of NEC (p≤0.01 for both). Unadjusted mortality among neonates with NEC was 24% compared to 12% in neonates without NEC (OR 2.4, 95%CI 2.1-2.7). When evaluating changes in adjusted mortality associated with NEC by CHD diagnosis, TOF mortality increased from 8% to 16% (p<.01), TGA increased from 5% to 21% (p<0.01), AO increased from 6% to 20% (p<0.01), HLHS increased from 22% to 28% (p=.07), and TA decreased from 13% to 12% (p=0.7). Median LOS was higher in neonates with NEC than without NEC (54d [IQR 31-93] vs. 18d [IQR 9-34], p<0.01) as was median hospital charge ($600k [IQR 310k-1.1m] vs. $220k [IQR 100k-430k], p<0.01). Conclusions: The incidence of NEC among neonates with major CHD is highest in HLHS and TA. NEC is associated with significantly higher hospital mortality, LOS, and charges. Determining modifiable factors associated with NEC may allow for interventions to reduce morbidity in this population.

Fontan Patients

Background: Varying single center data exist regarding the posttransplant outcomes of patients with single ventricle circulation, particularly following the Fontan operation. We sought to better elucidate these results in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) through combining two national databases. Methods: The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) transplantation database was merged with the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS), an administrative database with 71% of UNOS patients matched. Patients undergoing transplantation at a PHIS hospital from 2006 to 2017 were categorized as single ventricle or biventricular strategy based on their diagnoses and procedures in 90% of patients. When known, single ventricle patients were further analyzed by their palliative stage post-Glenn or post-Fontan (known in 31%). Results: A total of 1,517 CHD transplantations were identified, 67% with single ventricle strategy (1,016). Single ventricle, biventricular, and indeterminate patients had similar survival (log-rank P > .1). Risk factors for mortality in patients with CHD were extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support at transplant (hazard: 2.27), ABO blood type incompatibility (hazard: 1.61), African American recipient (hazard 1.42), and liver dysfunction (hazard 1.29). A total of 130 confirmed Fontan and 185 confirmed bidirectional Glenn patients underwent transplantation, each with survival equivalent to biventricular patients (log-rank P > .500). For Fontan patients, renal dysfunction (hazard: 5.40) and transplant <1 year after Fontan (hazard 2.82) were found to be associated with mortality. Conclusions: Single ventricle patients, as a group, experience similar outcomes as biventricular patients with CHD undergoing transplantation, and this extends to Fontan patients. Risk factors for mortality correlate with end-organ dysfunction as well as race and ABO blood type incompatibility in the CHD population.

The Impact

Abstract Introduction: Children with congenital heart disease and cardiomyopathy are a unique patient population. Different therapies continue to be introduced with large practice variability and questionable outcomes. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of various medications on intensive care unit length of stay, total length of stay, billed charges, and mortality for admissions with congenital heart disease and cardiomyopathy. Materials and methods: We identified admissions of paediatric patients with cardiomyopathy using the Pediatric Health Information System database. The admissions were then separated into two groups: those with and without inpatient mortality. Univariate analyses were conducted between the groups and the significant variables were entered as independent variables into the regression analyses. Results: A total of 10,376 admissions were included these analyses. Of these, 904 (8.7%) experienced mortality. Comparing patients who experienced mortality with those who did not, there was increased rate of acute kidney injury with an odds ratio (OR) of 5.0 [95% confidence interval (CI) 4.3 to 5.8, p < 0.01], cardiac arrest with an OR 7.5 (95% CI 6.3 to 9.0, p < 0.01), and heart transplant with an OR 0.3 (95% CI 0.2 to 0.4, p < 0.01). The medical interventions with benefit for all endpoints after multivariate regression analyses in this cohort are methylprednisolone, captopril, enalapril, furosemide, and amlodipine. Conclusions: Diuretics, steroids, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, and beta blockers all appear to offer beneficial effects in paediatric cardiomyopathy admission outcomes. Specific agents within each group have varying effects.

Growing Population

Background: Adults with congenital heart disease are a growing population. We describe surgical interventions, short- and long-term mortality and morbidity, and risk factors for adverse events in a population-based cohort. Methods: Patients over or equal to 18 years with congenital heart disease who underwent cardiac surgery at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark, from 1994 to 2012 were included in the study. Diagnoses, surgical procedures, postoperative complications, and survival were identified in hospital databases, medical records, and the Danish Civil Registration System. Results: Four hundred seventy-four surgeries were performed in 445 adults (50% men). The median age was 39 years (range 18-83). Thirty-nine percent had previous surgical or catheter-based interventions. Thirty-day and in-hospital mortality were 1.1%. Postoperative complications occurred in 50% of cases, most were minor such as temporary arrhythmias and pneumonia. Major complications included postoperative bleeding necessitating intervention (6%), stroke (2%), and acute temporary renal failure (1%). Multivariate analysis identified RACHS-1 categories over or equal to 3 compared to category 1 (odds ratio (OR) = 2.3; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.5-3.7), New York Heart Association functional class III and IV compared to class I (OR = 2.2; 95% CI: 1.3-3.7) and age at surgery (OR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.04), as risk factors for adverse events. Survival during a median follow-up of 7.8 years (range 0 days-21.4 years) was 85% (95% CI: 80%-89%). Conclusion: Adults with congenital heart disease constitute a growing population with the need for cardiac surgery. Postoperative complications are frequent but early and late mortality are low.
