The impact of prenatal diagnosis on the survival outcome of infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) is still unclear. This study aimed to compare the 1-year survival rate between the prenatally and postnatally diagnosed infants with CHDs.A single-center population-based retrospective cohort study was performed on data from all infants diagnosed with CHD born between January 1998 and December 2017.

However, the relationship between knowledge workers' informal status and "taking charge" has been ignored in previous human resource management research. Based on the self-consistency theory, this study examines the mechanisms underlying the influence of knowledge workers' informal status on taking charge.

However, the relationship between self-perceived status and "proactive helping" has been neglected in previous human resource management (HRM) research. Data were collected from 214 employees and their supervisors in two waves of dyads.

Results of polynomial regressions on 526 dyads supported the congruence effect hypothesis. The results show that (1) the congruence of leader-follower PDO leads to better performance; (2) under the condition of congruence, subordinate task performance is higher when leader-follower PDO matching in low-low ratings congruence than it is in high-high ratings congruence; (3) under the condition of asymmetrical incongruence, the follower had higher task performance when a leader's PDO is lower than a follower's PDO; (4) trust in supervisor and the work engagement mediate the effect of congruence of leader-follower PDO on employees' task performance; (5) trust in supervisor also mediates the effect of congruence of leader-follower PDO on employees' work engagement.
