AI Article Synopsis
- - Neurodevelopmental disability (NDD) is frequently seen in newborns who have complex surgeries for congenital heart disease (CHD), but the long-term effects of this disability are unclear.
- - There are several critical questions that remain unanswered regarding NDD and CHD, highlighting the need for further research to improve patient care and intervention strategies.
- - The article identifies current knowledge gaps related to NDD in CHD and suggests potential future research directions to enhance outcomes for individuals affected by CHD across their lifespan.
Article Abstract
It is established that neurodevelopmental disability (NDD) is common in neonates undergoing complex surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD); however, the trajectory of disability over the lifetime of individuals with CHD is unknown. Several 'big issues' remain undetermined and further research is needed in order to optimise patient care and service delivery, to assess the efficacy of intervention strategies and to promote best outcomes in individuals of all ages with CHD. This review article discusses 'gaps' in our knowledge of NDD in CHD and proposes future directions.
