Description
In this study, the authors provided data on the intermediate neurodevelopmental outcome for children after repair of a ventricular septal defect. Neurodevelopmental outcome was assessed for 31 children using standardized tests of IQ, memory, visual-motor ability, and academic achievement. Standardized parent and teacher reports of behavioral and psychosocial functioning were also examined. Patients were grouped into younger (less than 6 years old; n = 18) and older (6 years and older; n = 13) cohorts. Full-scale IQ scores were within the normal range. Although most other domains of neurodevelopmental and behavioral functioning were comparable to normative data, patient functioning was lower than population norms in the areas of performance IQ for the younger cohort (90.6 ± 16.1; p = 0.023), visual memory for the older cohort (84.5 ± 15.3; p = 0.003), and visual-motor ability (87.9 ± 14.2; p\0.001) and adaptive behavior (94.3 ± 15.3; p = 0.050) for the entire cohort.
