Neighborhood Childhood Opportunity, Race/Ethnicity, and Surgical Outcomes in Children With Congenital Heart Disease.

Background: Racial and ethnic disparities in outcomes for children with congenital heart disease (CHD) coexist with disparities in educational, environmental, and economic opportunity.

Objectives: We sought to determine the associations between childhood opportunity, race/ethnicity, and pediatric CHD surgery outcomes.

Methods: Pediatric Health Information System encounters aged <18 years from 2016 to 2022 with International Classification of Diseases-10th edition codes for CHD and cardiac surgery were linked to ZIP code-level Childhood Opportunity Index (COI), a score of neighborhood educational, environmental, and socioeconomic conditions.

Comparison of Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Pre-mature Infants vs. Term-Born Infants With Congenital Heart Disease.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious illness that occurs among premature infants and term-born infants with congenital heart disease (CHD). Prior studies have suggested these two groups may experience different disease entities. We sought to evaluate if there are differences in disease characteristics between these two populations.

Midterm Outcomes and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging following Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children.

At midterm follow-up visits performed at a median of 7 months (IQR 6.0-8.4 months), 16 patients with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children had resolution of left ventricular dysfunction and most had resolution of coronary aneurysms.

Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children Associated with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Infection (MIS-C): A Multi-institutional Study from New York City.

Objective: To assess clinical characteristics and outcomes of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).

Study Design: Children with MIS-C admitted to pediatric intensive care units in New York City between April 23 and May 23, 2020, were included. Demographic and clinical data were collected.
