Factores asociados con resultados de cirugía cardiaca neonatal

Introduction: neonatal cardiac surgery has evolved remarkably in recent years.However, it continues to be a challenge due to morbidity and mortality in this group of patients; since not only the type of heart disease influences but also the factors of this group such as the immaturity of the organs, weight, gestational age among others.Objective: to know which are the main associated factors that influence the results of surgical procedures in this group.Material: we carried out a descriptive, cross-sectional study where we evaluated the main factors associated with surgical results in the neonatal stage.Results: a total of 233 patients were evaluated, of which 59.7% correspond to the male gender.Main factors that were associated with mortality were the transfer time greater that 10 days with mortality of 68% (p = 0.005), the time in thar surgery was performed in the five-day group (p = 0.000) and critical heart disease with a mortality of 81% (p = 0.000).Conclusions: it is necessary to improve prenatal care, transfer times and planning the time of surgical intervention for the adequate care of these patients.
