Abstract:IntroductionThe aim of the study was to assess the predicting value of neuromarkers for psychomotor performances of congenital heart defect (CHD) patients before surgery, as until now the researchers only evaluated neuromarkers after the surgical treatment of the CHD.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study included children with CHD who did not receive treatment (interventional or cardiac surgery). Psychomotor development was evaluated using the Denver II Screening Test. Blood samples were collected for neuromarkers… Show more
