To date, there have been no studies on outcomes after congenital heart surgery on pediatric DS patients in Indonesia. \u0000Objective To determine outcomes and mortality in DS patients who underwent heart surgery at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta. \u0000Methods A prospective and retrospective cohort study was conducted in DS patients aged <15 years who underwent heart surgery from July 2007 to April 2015. The control group were patients in the same age range without DS who underwent heart surgery for various types of heart defects. \u0000Results  There were 57 DS and 43 non-DS patients during study period. The types of heart defects found in DS patients were atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) and ventricular septal defect (VSD) in 18/57 (31.6%) patients each, tetralogy of Fallot (12/57; 21%), atrial septal defect (ASD) (4/57; 7%), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) (4/57; 7%) and transposition of the great arteries with VSD (TGA-VSD) (1/57; 1.8%). DS patients showed an increased incidence of preoperative PH (63.1%)  compared to non-DS patients (25.6%). Median duration of surgery was longer in DS [2.9 (range 0.5-5.8) hours] than in non-DS [2.2 (range 0.7-4.7) hours]. DS patients have a longer mean cardiopulmonary bypass duration [79.5 (SD 33.9) minutes] compared to non-DS [59.9 (SD 23.6) minutes], longer mean aortic cross-clamp duration [45.3 (SD 23.7) minutes] compared to non-DS [34.8 (SD 15.7)]. There were significant differences in the incidence of preoperative pulmonary hypertension, surgical time, duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and length of the aortic cross-clamp in DS patients compared to non-DS (P<0.05). Median length of ICU stay was 1.9 (range 0.6 to 34) days in DS and 1 (range 0.3 to 43) day in non-DS patients (P=0.373). Median duration of mechanical ventilation [19.9 (range 3-540) vs. 8 (range 3-600) hours (P=0.308)], rate of pulmonary complications [14/57 (24.6%) vs. 6/43 (14%) patients (P=0.216)], and incidence of sepsis [16/57 (28.1%) vs. 6/43 (14%) patients (P=0.143)] were not significantly different between DS and non-DS patients. However, complete atrioventricular (AV) block only occurred in DS patients [6/57 (10.5%)]. In the DS group, 5/57 (8.8%) patients died. There was no mortality in the non-DS group. \u0000Conclusion  Morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery in were higher in DS than in non-DS patients. DS patients may have problems related to preoperative PH, AV block, longer surgical time, duration of CPB, and aortic cross-clamp compared to non-DS.","PeriodicalId":19660,"journal":{"name":"Paediatrica Indonesiana","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90801253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the hemodynamic impact of LRM using assist control volume guarantee (AC-VG) ventilator mode done in preterm infants born at 24 to 32 weeks’ gestation, especially in the first 72 hours of life, remains unknown. \u0000Objective To determine the effect of LRM on right- and left cardiac ventricular output (RVO and LVO), ductus arteriosus (DA) diameter and its pulmonary hypertension (PH) flow pattern, as well as superior mesenteric artery (SMA) flow. \u0000Method This randomized, controlled, single-blinded clinical trial was performed in 24-32-week preterm neonates with birth weights of >600 grams. Subjects were allocated by block randomization to the LRM and control groups, each containing 55 subjects. We measured RVO, LVO, DA diameter, PH flow pattern, and SMA resistive index (RI) at 1 and 72 hours after mechanical ventilation was applied.

The initial phase of the study consisted of forward translation from the original English version into Indonesian, synthesis by experts, backward translation, and cognitive debriefing, resulting in the final version of the questionnaire. The second phase was testing the final questionnaire on patients in each age group and their parents. Tests were carried out in two sessions with an interval of 2 to 4 weeks. The questionnaire consisted of a child report and a parent report, each measuring five dimensions: pain and hurt, activities, treatment, worry, and communication. We subsequently assessed validity and reliability of each dimension in the child and parent reports for the child and teen age groups. Validity was expressed as correlation coefficient (r) between dimension scores with the total score. \u0000Results The finalized Indonesian questionnaire was completed by 53 children aged 2-18 years with SLE or JIA and their parents. Due to small numbers of subjects in the younger age ranges, analysis was only performed in the 8-to-18-year age group. Validity varied from good to very good (r = 0.437 to 0.910) for the child report and from poor to good (r = 0.153 to 0.808) for the parent report.
