Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a common structural anomaly, affecting ~ 1% of live births worldwide. Advancements in medical and surgical management have significantly improved survival for children with CHD, however, extracardiac malformations (ECM) continue to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Despite clinical significance, there is limited literature available on ECM in neonates with CHD, especially from Latin America. A cross-sectional study of neonates with severe CHD evaluated by the medical-surgical board team at Fundación Cardiovascular de Colombia from 2014 to 2019 was completed to characterize morbidity, mortality, surgical outcomes, and ECM. Demographics and surgical outcomes were compared between neonates with and without ECM. Medical record data were abstracted and descriptive statistical analysis was performed. Of 378 neonates with CHD, 262 had isolated CHD (69.3%) and 116 had ECM (30.7%). The most common ECM was gastrointestinal (n = 18, 15.5%) followed by central nervous system (n = 14, 12%). Most neonates required a biventricular surgical approach (n = 220, 58.2%). Genetic testing was performed more often for neonates with ECM (n = 65, 56%) than neonates with isolated CHD (n = 14, 5.3%). Neonates with ECM had lower birth weight, longer hospital stays, and higher postsurgical complications rates. There was no difference in survival between groups. Overall, Screening for ECM in neonates with CHD is important and identification of ECM can guide clinical decision-making. These findings have important implications for pediatric healthcare providers, especially in low- and middle-income countries, where the burden of CHD is high and resources for managing CHD and extracardiac malformations may be limited.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
