Article Synopsis
- Children with trisomy 21 are at a higher risk of developing postoperative chylothorax after cardiac surgery compared to those without dysmorphic syndromes, with 16.9% of trisomy 21 patients affected versus 3% of others.
- The study examined data from 2255 patients over 10 years, focusing on the occurrence, characteristics, and outcomes related to chylothorax in these groups.
- Despite the increased incidence of chylothorax in trisomy 21 patients, outcomes like mortality and recovery parameters were similar to those of patients without dysmorphic syndromes, providing useful insights for healthcare providers and families.
