Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Children with congenital heart defects are far more likely to suffer a cardiovascular arrest and be in the need of cardiopulmonary resuscitation than healthy children or those with diseases of other organ systems, especially after cardiothoracic surgery. Due to a lack of data, the exact number of resuscitations in this patient cohort, as well as the morbidity and mortality, is unknown. This study aims to register all cardiovascular arrests in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease and study the mortality and morbidity with a special focus on the neurodevelopmental outcome.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background and aim: Children with heart defects, especially those after heart surgery, have an up to ten times higher risk for an in-hospital cardiac arrest, compared to children without heart disease. Although this patient cohort is particularly vulnerable, these events and outcomes are not systematically monitored in Germany. We designed a prospective multicenter-registry study aiming to record in-hospital cardiac arrests of children with congenital- (CHD) and acquired heart disease in Germany.

Methods: A web-based registry was designed, prospectively collecting data (patient´s demographics, CPR data, post-resuscitation care and clinical course, neurological outcome and follow-up), according to the Utstein template. All children (0-18 years) with heart disease suffering a cardiac arrest requiring resuscitation of ≥ two minutes will be included. The primary outcome is survival to discharge, the secondary outcome is morbidity, with a particular focus on neurological morbidity. An inclusion of 10-20 children/centre/year is anticipated. As this is an observational study, no intervention is planned.

Results: This registry will provide data on the mortality, early and mid-term neurologic outcome, and quality of life after cardiac arrest of children with heart disease in Germany. Correlations between patients´ characteristics, resuscitation characteristics and post-resuscitation care with primary and secondary outcomes will be analyzed.

Conclusions: By systematically recording and analyzing the outcome after in-hospital cardiac arrest in children with CHD, this study is an important first step to close knowledge gaps regarding the risk factors and outcome of cardiac arrest in this patient group, and aims to improve care and outcomes of these vulnerable patients.
