Abstract
Although nearly half of the patients were malnourished at surgery, only two-thirds of their recommended caloric and protein requirements were provided by week 1. To improve hospital outcomes, care should be taken to optimize the nutritional condition of infants and children prior to and following surgical correction of congenital heart disease to improve hospital outcomes.
