Abstract

In a prospective study, we evaluated the perioperative application of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Network Neurobehavioral Scale in a cohort of newborns with congenital heart disease (CHD). Infants with CHD were found to have suboptimal neurobehavioral performance compared with healthy infants without CHD, with particular vulnerability in the Regulation and Stress subscales.
