RÉSUMÉ
Objective: To assess outcomes and factors influencing outcomes in neonates requiringcardiac surgery in India. Methods: This study reports on review of hospital data from atertiary care cardiac surgical institute from January-2009 to December-2015. Results: A totalof 200 neonates were included; of them, 5% of the cases were antenatally diagnosed andmost of them had unmonitored transport (111, 55.5%). The overall mortality rate was 13.5%,(n=27) and 178 (89%) underwent complete defect repair. There was a significant associationof mortality with shock, the number of inotropes, intra-operative procedure, residual lesion,aortic cross-clamp and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest time (all P<0.05). Logisticregression analysis showed ventilation duration, cardiac-bypass time, shock, and residualcardiac lesion as independent predictors of mortality. Conclusion: Cardiac defects werefound to have late detection and most transports were unmonitored. Complete surgical repairand shorter cardiac bypass time can potentially improve neonatal cardiac surgical outcomes
