Abstrakt: Children with severe congenital heart disease are at risk for neurodevelopmental impairments. We examined brain maturation in infants undergoing neonatal cardiopulmonary bypass surgery or hybrid procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome compared to controls. This is a prospective cohort study on term-born infants with congenital heart disease with cerebral MRI pre- and postoperatively. Healthy infants served as controls. Brain maturation was measured using a semiquantitative scoring system. The progress of brain maturation from the preoperative to postoperative MRI within patients was compared. Neurodevelopment was assessed at 1 year with the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development III. A total of 92 patients with congenital heart disease and 46 controls were studied. Median total maturation score in patients was 12 (interquartile range 10.6-13.0) preoperatively and 14 (12.0-15.0) postoperatively, in controls it was 14 (13.0-15.0). Median time interval between scans was 19 days (interquartile range 14-26). After correction for postmenstrual age at MRI, the pre- and postoperative maturation score was lower in patients compared to controls (preoperative P = 0.01, postoperative P = 0.03) and increased between pre- and postoperative assessment (P ≤ 0.001). Brain maturation scores did not correlate with neurodevelopmental outcome at 1 year, when corrected for socioeconomic status and postmenstrual age at MRI. This study confirms delayed brain maturation in children with congenital heart disease, and despite neonatal cardiac bypass surgery followed by postoperative intensive care medicine brain maturation is ongoing. We encourage further investigation in outcome prediction in this population, potentially by combining more advanced MRI measures with clinical methods.
