Exploring the influence of risk factors on outcomes following surgical closure of ventricular septal defects
While genetic syndromes did not impact complication rates, they significantly influenced the durations of hospital and paediatric intensive care unit stays, as well as mechanical ventilation. Younger age and lower body weight emerged as risk factors for prolonged hospitalisation, extended paediatric intensive care unit stays, and prolonged mechanical ventilation. Consequently, these factors warrant consideration in the postoperative follow-up of patients with ventricular septal defects.
