Description
Summary:BackgroundGrowth impairment in infants with univentricular congenital heart disease is well documented. Meeting nutritional requirements in the early phase of infancy can be particularly challenging as these infants undergo complex surgical palliation within the first few days of life. This audit is a retrospective study aiming to evaluate the nutritional status of these infants.MethodEighty-nine infants with single ventricle physiology underwent a surgical Norwood or a hybrid/interventional procedure (stage 1) as a neonate in OLCHC during the time period January 2014 - December 2018. Subject data collected included demographics, procedure type, anthropometry, mode and type of feeding, nutritional intake and nutrition related complications. Weight for Age Z scores (WAZ) were calculated using the World Health Organisation Standards.ResultsWAZ
