We sought to determine whether preoperative oral feeding is associated with freedom from tube feeding at postoperative discharge. Single-center, observational study including patients in the first month of life (\u2264\u200930\u00a0days of age) who underwent a single cardiac surgery between 7\/1\/2017\u20136\/30\/2022 and survived to discharge. Preoperative PO was defined as any oral intake up to the day of cardiac surgery. General demographics and peri-operative characteristics were analyzed. A total of 235 patients were included of which 178 (78%) PO fed preoperatively, and 171 (73%) were discharged taking full PO. Those discharged without tube feeds received more preoperative oral feeds, were less likely to have a chromosomal abnormality\/genetic syndrome, had lower STAT categories, and were less likely to have postoperative complications, vocal cord dysfunction or prolonged mechanical ventilation. Multivariate analysis found that any preoperative PO [odds ratio (OR) of 2.78 (CI 1.48, 5.24, p-value\u2009=\u20090.002)] and increasing amounts of PO were predictive of full PO intake at discharge [\u2264\u200920\u00a0ml\/kg\/day (OR 2.06, CI 1.03, 4.14,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    -value\u2009=\u20090.042) and\u2009&gt;\u200920\u00a0ml\/kg\/day (OR 4.07, CI 1.88, 8.84,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    -value\u2009=\u20090.004)]. Preoperative oral feeding is a strong predictor of discharging with full PO intake after cardiac surgery in the first month of life and that it may also improve with increasing volumes. Multi-institutional analyses are warranted.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00246-024-03750-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,8]],"date-time":"2025-01-08T12:06:43Z","timestamp":1736338003000},"page":"221-228","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Preoperative Oral Feeding in Infants with Congenital Heart Disease Within the First Month of Life is Associated with a Higher Likelihood of Freedom From Tube Feeding at Time of Postoperative Discharge"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Aseel","family":"Dabbagh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah","family":"Miller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"McCulloch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Geoffrey","family":"Rosenthal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Conaway","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shelby","family":"White","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"3750_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"92","DOI":"10.1017\/S1047951105002398","volume":"16","author":"G Wernovsky","year":"2006","unstructured":"Wernovsky G (2006) Current insights regarding neurological and developmental abnormalities in children and young adults with complex congenital cardiac disease.
