Abstract

Trajectories of neurodevelopment and quality of life were analyzed in children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome according to socioeconomic status (SES) and maternal education. Lower SES and less maternal education were associated with greater early delays in communication and problem-solving and progressive delays in problem-solving and fine motor skills over time.

Keywords: congenital heart disease; hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
