OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between early anthropometric measurements, device-assisted feeding, and early neurodevelopment in @entity1 with complex @entity299 ( @entity299 ). STUDY DESIGN: Bayley Scales of @entity1 Development II were used to assess cognitive and motor skills in 72 @entity1 with CHD at 6 and 12  months of age. Linear regression models were used to assess the association between mode of feeding and anthropometric measurements with neurodevelopment at 6 and 12  months of age. RESULTS: Of the 72 @entity1 enrolled in the study, 34 (47%) had single-ventricle physiology. The mean @entity146 ( @entity146 ) and @entity1155 at 6  months of age were 92      10 and 81      14, respectively. At 12  months of age, the mean @entity146 and @entity1155 scores were 94      12 and 80      16, respectively. Lower length-for-age z score (P  <  .01) and head circumference-for-age z score (P  <  .05) were independently associated with lower @entity146 at 6  months, and both increased hospital length of stay (P  <  .01) and lower length-for-age z score (P  =  .04) were associated independently with lower @entity146 at 12  months. Device-assisted feeding at 3  months (P  =  .04) and lower length-for-age z score (P  <  .05) were independently associated with lower @entity1155 at 6  months. Both lower weight-for-age z score (P  =  .04) and lower length-for-age z score (P  =  .04) were associated independently with @entity1155 at 12  months. CONCLUSION: Neonates with complex CHD who required device-assisted feeding and those with lower weight and length and head circumference z scores at 3  months were at risk for neurodevelopmental delay at 6 and 12  months of age.
