Synopsis
This study examined trajectories of early postnatal brain structure (macrostructural brain volumes and microstructural white matter tractography) relationship with early childhood neurodevelopmental deficits (NDD) in complex congenital heart disease patients. This analysis included development of predictive multi-variable models incorporating other known risk factors of poor NDD in CHD. A multi-modal dysmaturation phenotype of reduced subcortical volume and cerebral white matter volume/connectivity predicted poor early childhood language outcomes, despite high relative contribution of genetic and socio-demographic factors (maternal IQ). Favorable socio-demographic factors, despite the high incidence of focal WMI and presence of genetic abnormalities, predicted better neurodevelopmental outcomes.
