Participants were children aged 0 to 2 years who were admitted for at least 7 days from September 1, 2018, to September 1, 2023. The CINCO program was implemented on September 1, 2020, in 6-month plan-do-study-act phases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Exposures<\/jats:title>The 5 CINCO interventions were medical and\/or nursing order panels, developmental kits, bedside developmental plans, caregiver mental health support handouts, and developmental care rounds.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>Number of days with delirium per patient, which was measured using the Cornell Assessment of Pediatric Delirium (a score higher than 9 indicated delirium). Neurodevelopment was measured using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Fourth Edition (BSID-4).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>The full sample included 1331 qualifying admissions for 1019 unique pediatric patients (median [range] age at admission, 3.65 [0-34.62] months; 771 males [57.9%]), with a subcohort of 121 unique patients (median [range] age at admission, 0.00 [0-9.85] months; 77 males [63.6%]) whose initial hospitalization occurred before age 10 months and who underwent BSID-4 evaluation at age 12 months or older. The mean (SD) number of days with delirium per patient was stable for 2 years prior to CINCO implementation, decreased by 54.0% between phases 1 and 2 of the CINCO program (from 3.05 [0.60] to 1.38 [0.21]), and then remained stable over time. Each of the 5 CINCO interventions was associated with lower delirium after false discovery rate (FDR) correction (eg, medical and\/or nursing order panel: B\u2009=\u2009\u20131.376 [95% CI, \u20131.767 to \u20130.986]; F<\/jats:italic>2,1273<\/jats:sub>\u2009=\u200947.767; partial \u03b72<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u20090.036; P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). Mean (SD) BSID-4 cognitive index scores were stable for 2 years prior to implementation, higher between phases 1 and 2 of the program (from 81.67 [14.14] to 93.92 [19.43]), and then remained stable over time. Four of the 5 interventions were associated with higher BSID-4 cognitive scores after FDR correction (eg, bedside developmental plans: B\u2009=\u20098.585 [95% CI, 2.247-14.923]; F<\/jats:italic>5, 101<\/jats:sub>\u2009=\u20097.221; partial \u03b72<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u20090.067; P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.008). Delirium was associated with lower BSID-4 cognitive scores. There were no associations between delirium and BSID-4 language or motor scores.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>This cohort study found that among hospitalized children with CHD, the implementation of an inpatient developmental care program was associated with reduced incidence of delirium and higher cognitive scores.
