? 2022 Elsevier Inc.Objectives: To compare outcomes in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) undergoing noncardiac surgery by presence of chronic conditions and identify associated risk factors. Study design: Retrospective analysis of 14 031 children with CHD who underwent noncardiac surgery in the 2016 Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Kid's Inpatient Database. Multivariable regression was used to assess patient and hospital factors associated with in-hospital mortality and length of stay (LOS). Results: Overall, 94% had at least 1 chronic condition. The in-hospital mortality rate was 5.6%. Neonates with CHD only had the highest mortality (15.6%); otherwise, children with CHD and at least 1 chronic condition had higher mortality than patients with CHD only (infant 3.93%, child 1.22%, adolescent 1.04% vs 2.34%, 0%, and 0%). Neonates (OR, 15.5; 95% CI, 7.1-34.1 vs adolescent), number of chronic conditions (OR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.27-1.42), chronic conditions type (circulatory system; OR 2.46; 95% CI, 2.04-2.98), and low socioeconomic status (OR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.05-1.77) were associated with increased mortality. The median LOS was 20 days (IQR, 5-66). Those with CHD and at least 1 chronic condition had a greater LOS (21 days; IQR, 5-68) than those with CHD only (9 days; IQR, 3-46). Neonates (adjusted coefficient, 44.3; 95% CI, 40.3-48.3 vs adolescent), Black race (adjusted coefficient, 4.78; 95% CI, 2.27-7.3), chronic condition indicator number (adjusted coefficient, 5.17; 95% CI, 4.56-5.78), and subtype (adjusted coefficient, 23.6; 95% CI, 20.4-26.7) were associated with a prolonged LOS. Conclusions: Most children with CHD who undergo noncardiac surgery have at least 1 chronic condition. Age, chronic conditions type and number, low socioeconomic status, and Black race impart increased risks of in-hospital mortality and prolonged LOS. Further research is needed to evaluate the impact of specific chronic conditions and determine barriers to equitable care.
