Perioperative Risk Assessment in Children With Congenital Heart Disease Undergoing Noncardiac Procedures
Authors' conclusion
A robust model for severe perioperative complications was developed within the authors' institutional clinical guidelines, identifying 5 predictors for perioperative cardiac arrest or death.
Study context
- Population
- Children (birth to 19 years) with congenital heart disease undergoing noncardiac surgery or diagnostic procedures, January 2017 to December 2018
- Participants
- 1,005 children
- Outcome
- Severe perioperative complication (perioperative cardiac arrest or death)
- Follow-up
- Within 30 days of the procedure
Methodological detailssingle-centre, academic tertiary-care children's hospital

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Severe perioperative complication (cardiac arrest or death within 30 days)
Incidence of severe perioperative complication
1.6%
ROC AUC for severe complications
0.936
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Moderate perioperative complications (escalation of disposition or airway support, intraoperative vasoactive medication, reoperation within 30 days, unplanned readmission within 24 h)
- AUC for moderate complications
- 0.679
