Postoperative complications after paediatric cardiac surgery: the role of ethnicity and deprivation – a national cohort study
Greater area deprivation in England is associated with increased preoperative medical complexity and a higher incidence of certain postoperative complications among children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Further research is needed to explore the relationship between ethnic background and perioperative outcomes in CHD and to develop pathways to improvement based on social factors.
