What this trial studies

This multi-center cohort study aims to monitor the peri-operative nutrition of infants diagnosed with congenital heart disease who are scheduled for surgery. Data will be collected at various intervals, including pre-surgery and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery, focusing on nutritional status, biochemical indices, and quality of life. The study seeks to understand the impact of nutritional management on recovery and long-term health outcomes in these children, addressing the challenges posed by surgery and potential malnutrition.
