Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effects of postoperative necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) on neurodevelopmental outcomes in children who underwent cardiac surgery in their infancy.
- A total of 101 neonates with congenital heart disease (CHD) were examined, revealing that NEC resulted in longer stays in the intensive care unit and hospital compared to those without NEC.
- The findings indicated that children with NEC had significantly lower cognitive and motor scores on a developmental assessment tool at one year old, underscoring the negative impact of NEC on neurodevelopment.
