Clinical practice and outcomes in European pediatric cardiac anesthesia: A secondary analysis of the APRICOT and NECTARINE studies
Authors' conclusion
In this secondary analysis of the APRICOT and NECTARINE studies, we found that fatal cases primarily occurred in low-age and low-weight neonates and infants.
Study context

- Follow-up
- 30 and 90 days
Methodological detailssub-analysis of cardiac cohorts, stratification by country income group
- Sub-analysis of cardiac cohorts
- Stratification by country income group
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Overall mortality
Further findings
Clinical practice
- Considerable variability in clinical practice in Europe
Data representativity by country income
- Data from highest-income and upper-middle-income European countries; not representative of low-income and middle-income countries
