Mortality was in one patient (0.8%) Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that male sex group (observational data), previous pulmonary artery banding (PAB), and significant intraoperative residual VSD were significant risk factors for the development of MAEs (odds ratios were 3.398, 14.282, and 8.634, respectively). Trisomy 21 syndrome (odds ratio: 5.678) contributed significantly to prolonged ventilation. Pulmonary artery banding (odds ratio: 14.415), significant intraoperative (3\u00a0mm) residual VSD (odds ratio: 11.262), and long cross-clamp time (odds ratio: 1.064) were significant predictors of prolonged ICU stay, whereas prolonged hospital stay was observed significantly in male sex group (odds ratio: 12.8281), PAB (odds ratio: 2.669), and significant intraoperative (3\u00a0mm) residual VSD (odds ratio: 19.551).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Surgical VSD repair is considered a safe procedure with very low mortality. Trisomy 21 was a significant risk factor for prolonged ventilation. Further, PAB, significant intraoperative residual of 3\u00a0mm or more that required a second pulmonary bypass, and a greater cross-clamp time were significant predictors of MAE and associated complications with prolonged ICU and hospital stay.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13019-022-01985-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,7]],"date-time":"2022-09-07T04:02:18Z","timestamp":1662523338000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Predictors of major adverse events and complications after ventricular septal defects surgical closure in children less than 10\u00a0kg"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1947-2839","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ayman R.","family":"Abdelrehim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3170-1574","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mustafa","family":"Al-Muhaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1738-4154","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alassal A.","family":"Alkodami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0134-6244","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luna S.","family":"Baangood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4682-9303","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mansour","family":"Al-Mutairi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5104-6517","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdul","family":"Quadeer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fath A.","family":"Alabsi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9897-1574","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.","family":"Alashwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8905-0148","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohamed Mofeed F.","family":"Morsy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7120-7813","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdulhameed A.","family":"Alnajjar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4254-4204","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sherif S.","family":"Salem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"1985_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"641","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtcvs.2012.11.032","volume":"145","author":"BR Anderson","year":"2013","unstructured":"Anderson BR, Stevens KN, Nicolson SC, Gruber SB, Spray TL, Wernovsky G, Gruber PJ.
