Outcomes and Healthcare for Children with Congenital Heart Disease Undergoing Other Procedures

This study is looking at children with congenital heart disease (a heart problem present at birth) who are having non-heart-related procedures, like other surgeries. Researchers want to understand how these children do and what healthcare resources they use. They will be looking at information from existing medical records to see how many children pass away during or shortly after the procedure (up to 30 days), how many need to be admitted to the intensive care unit (up to 72 hours), and how many need help with breathing or other support after the procedure (up to 72 hours). You can join if you are between birth and 21 years old, have congenital heart disease, and are having a non-heart procedure. This study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design
This is an observational study, meaning researchers will be looking at existing medical information rather than giving any new treatments. It aims to include 10,000 participants.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The study will look at outcomes during the procedure and up to 30 days afterward for mortality, and up to 72 hours afterward for intensive care unit admission and postoperative mechanical support.
