This study investigates PCE development after the arterial switch operation (ASO) and its short-term and longitudinal impacts. Methods: A retrospective review of the Pediatric Health Information System database. Patients with dextro-transposition of the great arteries who underwent ASO from January 1, 2004, to March 31, 2022, were identified. Patients with and without PCE were analyzed with descriptive, univariate, and multivariable regression statistics. Results: There were 4896 patients identified with 300 (6.1%) diagnosed with PCE. Thirty-five (11.7%) with PCE underwent pericardiocentesis. There were no differences in background demographics or concomitant procedures between those who developed PCE and those who did not. Patients who developed PCE more frequently had acute renal failure (N\u2009=\u200956 (18.7%) vs N\u2009=\u2009603(13.1%), P\u2009=\u2009.006), pleural effusions (N\u2009=\u200946 (15.3%) vs N\u2009=\u2009441 (9.6%), P\u2009=\u2009.001), mechanical circulatory support (N\u2009=\u200926 (8.7%) vs N\u2009=\u2009199 (4.3%), P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), and had longer postoperative length of stay (15 [11-24.5] vs 13 [IQR: 9-20] days). After adjustment for additional factors, pleural effusions (OR\u2009=\u20091.7 [95% CI: 1.2-2.4]), and mechanical circulatory support (OR\u2009=\u20091.81 [95% CI: 1.15-2.85]) conferred higher odds of PCE. There were 2298 total readmissions, of which 46 (2%) had PCE, with no difference in median readmission rate for patients diagnosed with PCE at index hospitalization (median 0 [IQR: 0-1] vs 0 [IQR: 0-0], P\u2009=\u2009.208). Conclusions: PCE occurred after 6.1% of ASO and was associated with pleural effusions and mechanical circulatory support. PCE is associated with morbidity and prolonged length of stay; however, there was no association with in-hospital mortality or readmissions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/21501351221146153","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,8]],"date-time":"2023-03-08T08:38:05Z","timestamp":1678264685000},"page":"148-154","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Pericardial
