“…Birth weight has been described as a predictor of outcome after congenital heart surgery, in particular when the weight is less than 2.5 kg . In TOF, studies have shown that low birth weight is associated with length of hospital stay . Lower birth weight may reflect fetal health, placental heath, or a genetic basis .…”

“…13 In TOF, studies have shown that low birth weight is associated with length of hospital stay. [14][15][16] Lower birth weight may reflect fetal health, placental heath, or a genetic basis. [17][18][19] Our findings indicate that subjects should not be electively delivered early, and future study is needed to seek the basis of low birth weight in TOF.…”

“…Among infants undergoing cardiac surgery, LBW has been shown to be a significant risk factor for mortality; however, prematurity has been found not to be a significantly associated with mortality (Curzon et al, 2008;Ades et al, 2010;Archer et al, 2011;Azakie et al, 2011;Barron, 2013;Anderson et al, 2014;Mehmood et al, 2014). Despite these findings, both prematurity and LBW have been shown to be predictors of increased morbidity and hospital resource usage in TOF repair (Peer et al, 2014).…”

“…Quando viável, a correção total da cardiopatia congênita proporciona ao paciente o controle dos sintomas e a melhoria da qualidade de vida, além de prevenir eventos indesejados (7) . É indicada, preferencialmente entre 18 e 24 meses de idade, mesmo em pacientes assintomáticos (8)(9) , corroborando parcialmente os resultados do nosso estudo, em que 36,67% das crianças apresentavam idade de zero a 11 meses e 29 dias, seguida das crianças na faixa etária entre 12 a 35 meses e 29 dias, cujo percentual foi de 33,33%. As vantagens da correção, no primeiro ano de vida, incluem normalização precoce do fluxo e das pressões nas câmaras cardíacas, interrupção do processo de hipertrofia do ventrículo direito, ocasionado pela estenose pulmonar, minimização de incidências de arritmias pela pequena ressecção infundibular, normalização precoce da saturação arterial de oxigênio, menor potencial para complicações das operações de "shunt", além das nítidas vantagens econômicas e psicossociais (10) .…”
