Abstract:
Objective To identify the nutritional risks of the hospitalized children with congenital heart disease (CHD) during perioperative period and the relationship between nutrition risks and the clinical outcomes.Methods Totally 780 CHD children (522 cases of ventricular septal defect,133 cases of atrial septal defect,70 cases of tetralogy of fallot,and 55 of patent ductus arteriosus) were recruited.The STRONGkids (Screening Tool for Risk on Nutritional Status and Growth) was used to analyze the nutritional risks of CHD children and to identify the nutritional risks of these children at different ages.Also,the potential effect of pulmonary hypertension on malnutrition and effects of the possible nutritional risks on the clinical outcomes were analyzed.Results Of these 780 CHD children,260 (33.3％) were found to be with high and moderate nutritional risks.The incidences of these risks were 49.2％ (187/380) in the 0-1-year-old group,which was significantly higher than that in the 1-3-year-old group (26.2％,60/229) (x2 =25.174,P ＜0.001) and the ＞ 3-year-old group (7.6％,13/171) (x2 =36.029,P ＜ 0.001).Both pulmonary hypertension and malnutrition showed synergic effects on the clinical nutritional risk,and higher nutrition risks were associated with poorer clinical outcomes.Conclusions STRONGkids can effective evaluate the nutritional risks of CHD children during the perioperative period and thus can inform the standardized nutrition support.
