Several studies have identified factors associated with attendance, however geographical and language-based factors have not been explored. We examined the association between geographical and language-based factors and CNC attendance. We hypothesized that patients with increased travel distance, lower neighborhood affluence, and families who speak a language other than English had lower CNC attendance. We also hypothesized increased use of interpretation services improved attendance. We performed a single center cross-sectional study by linking data from cardiac-specific quality databases, interpretation services, and geocoding tools. We performed descriptive statistics, univariate, and multivariate analysis with a primary outcome of CNC attendance before 12 months of age. Among 755 infants, 22% attended CNC. We did not detect a significant difference across all neighborhood deprivation indices (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&gt;\u20090.05) and all languages (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&gt;\u20090.05). Of those who did not attend CNC, 51% received greater than 2 interpretation encounters per day in comparison to 62% in those who did attend CNC (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&gt;\u20090.9). Patients who lived out of state were at decreased odds of CNC attendance (OR 0.17, 95%CI 0.08\u20130.33). Patients who live out-of-state attend CNC less, however we failed to find a significant difference in attendance based on preferred language, frequency of interpretation services, and community deprivation index. These findings may guide interventions and future research to optimize CNC attendance.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00246-026-04362-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,29]],"date-time":"2026-06-29T03:53:01Z","timestamp":1782705181000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Geographical and Language-Based Factors Associated with Neurodevelopmental Follow-Up in Children with Congenital Heart Disease"],"prefix":"10.1007","author":[{"given":"Lorena","family":"Galvan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marshall","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marnina","family":"Gottesman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melissa","family":"Hathaway","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Titus","family":"Chan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,29]]},"reference":[{"issue":"13","key":"4362_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e997","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000001211","volume":"149","author":"E Sood","year":"2024","unstructured":"Sood E, Newberger JW, Anixt JS et al (2024) Neurodevelopmental outcomes for individuals with CHD: Updates in neuroprotection, risk-stratification, evaluation and management: A scientific statement from the AHA.
