Infection in DiGeorge Following CHD Surgery

Stopped early

Conditions studied: DiGeorge Syndrome, Congenital Heart Defects

In brief

We propose a retrospective review of patients with DiGeorge syndrome having undergone cardiac surgery to evaluate the incidence of blood stream and/or surgical site infection. The hypothesis is that we will find an increased number of infections for this sub-group. We will compare the incidence of infection to children of similar age and diagnosis to evaluate for variances in the incidence of infection.
