Abstract

Objective To study the effect of calorie-enriched formula on postoperative catch-up growth in infants with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods A total of 100 infants with cyanotic CHD who underwent surgical operation from January to December, 2017, were randomly divided into a high-calorie group (receiving calorie-enriched formula after surgery) and a conventional group (receiving standard formula after surgery), with 50 infants in each group. All infants were followed up for 6 months. The observation indices included body height, body weight, prealbumin, and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide before surgery, at the time of ventilator weaning and extubation after surgery, and at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. Height-for-age Z-score (HAZ), weight-for-age Z-score (WAZ), and weight-for-height Z-score (WHZ) were also assessed. Adverse reactions were recorded for both groups. Results There were 25 cases (50%) and 21 cases (42%) of malnutrition in the high-calorie group and the conventional group respectively before surgery (P > 0.05). The nutritional status of the two groups improved 6 months after surgery (P < 0.05). At 6 months after surgery, compared with the conventional group, the high-calorie group had a lower proportion of infants with malnutrition (18% vs 36%, P < 0.05) and also a lower proportation of infants with a WAZ score of < -2 (P < 0.05). The infants with malnutrion in the high-calorie group had higher HAZ, WAZ, and WHZ than those in the conventional group (P < 0.05). No gastrointestinal intolerance was observed in both groups during hospitalization. Conclusions Compared with the standard formula, calorie-enriched formula can better help with postoperative catch-up growth in infants with cyanotic CHD.
