Is clinic visit frequency associated with weight gain during the interstage period? A report from the Joint Council on Congenital Heart Disease National Pediatric Cardiology Quality Improvement Collaborative (JCCHD-NPCQIC).
The researchers sought to determine whether frequency of outpatient clinic visits correlated with weight gain in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome or variant during the interstage period between discharge from stage I palliation and presentation for stage II palliation . There was no correlation between interstage visit frequency and change in weight-for-age z-score in this patient population.
