What are the prenatal and postnatal determinants of clinical outcomes in congenital heart diseases?
Prenatal and postnatal factors, along with CHD complexity, are significant determinants of mortality, surgical needs, and readmission in congenital heart disease.
CHD type, complexity, and coexisting conditions, along with key prenatal and postnatal factors, significantly influence outcomes including mortality, surgical needs, and readmission risk. Prospective studies incorporating functional cardiac assessment are warranted to further improve CHD management.
