Association of Preoperative Cell Counts With Outcomes After Operation for Congenital Heart Disease

We examined the association of preoperative cell count abnormalities, which have been shown to be associated with outcomes in adult cardiac patients, with morbidity and mortality after operation for congenital heart disease (CHD) in children. We performed a retrospective cohort study on 4,865 childr...

Zusammenfassung:We examined the association of preoperative cell count abnormalities, which have been shown to be associated with outcomes in adult cardiac patients, with morbidity and mortality after operation for congenital heart disease (CHD) in children. We performed a retrospective cohort study on 4,865 children undergoing cardiac operation from 2004 to 2014. Our exposures of interest were presence of preoperative lymphopenia (lymphocyte count ≤ 3,000 cells/μL), thrombocytopenia (platelet count
