Cognitive Development of School-Age Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome Survivors: A Single Center Study

Pediatric Cardiology
Raphael D OberhuberGerald Tulzer

Abstract

Neurological and radiologic research results show an abnormal cerebral microstructure as well as abnormal neurodevelopment in patients treated for hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The aim of this study was to assess the varying cognitive performance these children have developed in dependence upon prenatal diagnosis, surgical techniques, surgical learning effects, anatomy, perfusion techniques, gender, pedagogic, and sociodemographic parameters in comparison to age-adjusted normative values. School-age children (6.3-16.9 years) with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, who were treated at the Children's heart Center Linz between 1997 and 2009, (n = 74), were surveyed in reference to cognitive achievements. 43 patients were examined prospectively by psychologists using the Wechsler intelligence scale for children IV in order to determine the respective total intelligence quotient index for each child's developmental stage. The mean index was 84.5 (percentile rank 26.4). The statistical spread and standard deviation ranged from a minimum of 40 to a maximum of 134 ± 20.8. The results for verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, and processing speed corresponded with total index results and were thus lower than the mean value of the...Continue Reading
