Abstract:Objective To analyze the predictive value of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) combined cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in children with low cardiac output syndrome after congenital heart disease surgery.Methods A total of 121 children with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass in Sanya Women and Children's Hospital Managed by shanghai Children's Medical Center Sanya, from June 2019 to September 2021, were selected. According to postoperative low cardiac output syndrome, they were divided into low cardiac output syndrome group and non-low cardiac output syndrome group. Sex, age, body weight, aortic block time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, mechanical ventilation time, vasoactive drug score, congenital heart defect type, LVEF, NT-proBNP, and cTnI were compared between the two groups. Logistic multiple regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of postoperative low cardiac output syndrome in children with congenital heart defect, to analyze the value of LVEF, NT-proBNP, CTNI, and their combination in predicting the occurrence of postoperative low cardiac output syndrome in congenital heart defect children.Results 39 LCOS in 121 children with congenital heart disease, the incidence rate was 32.23%. There were significant differences in age, aortic occlusion time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, mechanical ventilation time, LVEF, NT-proBNP, and cTnI between the two group by t test (P < 0.05); age and LVEF of LCOS group were lower than those of non-LCOS group; aortic occlusion time, extracorporeal circulation time and mechanical ventilation time were longer than those of non-LCOS group; NT-proBNP and cTnI were higher than those of non-LCOS group. The logistic regression results found that, age [O^R = 0.436 (95% CI: 0.186, 0.769)], LVEF [O^R = 0.877 (95% CI: 0.779, 0.987) ] were protective factors for the occurrence of LCOS after pediatric congenital heart disease (P < 0.05), Time to aortic blockade [O^R = 3.652 (95% CI: 1.425, 7.002) ], time of cardiopulmonary bypass [O^R = 3.702 (95% CI: 1.463, 8.652) ], mechanical ventilation time [O^R = 2.025 (95% CI: 1.165, 5.385) ], NT-proBNP [O^R = 1.005 (95% CI: 1.003, 1.007) ], and cTnI [O^R = 3.758 (95% CI: 1.549, 9.121)] were risk factors (P < 0.05); ROC result display that the sensitivity of LVEF, NT-proBNP, cTnI, and the combined prediction of LCOS occurrence after congenital heart disease in brain children is 76.5% (95% CI: 0.682, 0.875), 81.2% (95% CI: 0.751, 0.932), 78.6% (95% CI: 0.693, 0.887), 86.5% (95% CI: 0.793, 0.932) respectively, and speciality were 73.5% (95% CI: 0.602, 0.835), 79.6% (95% CI: 0.693, 0.900), 75.5% (95% CI: 0.659, 0.861), and 84.2% (95% CI:0.782, 0.935), respectively.Conclusion LVEF, NT-proBNP, and cTnI were independent predictors of LCOS after pediatric congenital heart disease, and the combination of the three could effectively predict the occurrence of LCOS.
