The proportion of neonates increased annually (8.7%, 9.6%, and 10.2%). There were 49 (60%) male patients, and 32 (40%) had surgery in the second week of life. Fourteen (17%) were premature, four (5%) had a major chromosomal abnormality, five (6%) a major medical illness, and eight (10%) a major noncardiac structural anomaly. The Risk Adjustment for Congenital Heart Surgery (RACHS) categorization of surgery was predominantly RACHS 3; n\u2009=\u200928 (35%) and 4; n\u2009=\u200923 (29%). Hours in the intensive care unit (ICU) were extensive; median 189 [interquartile range (IQR): 114-286] as were hours of ventilation; median 95 [IQR 45-163]. Almost 60% (n\u2009=\u200948) of procedures were complicated by sepsis, as defined in our database. The in-hospital mortality rate was 16% (n\u2009=\u200913); the 30-day mortality rate was 19.8% (n\u2009=\u200916).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The proportion of neonates in our service increased over the period. Focused strategies to shorten prolonged ICU stay and decrease rates of bacterial sepsis in neonates are needed.
