Impaired cognitive performance in premature newborns with two or more surgeries prior to term-equivalent age
Background: Anesthesia in early childhood is associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcome; however, it is not known if age at exposure affects the risk of adverse outcome. Our objective was to evaluate the association of the number and timing of anesthetic exposures for surgery with cognitive...
