Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Aggregated routinely collected clinical data from review of medical notes: operation/catheterisation, PICU, HeartSuite, Hospital episode statistics (HES), HER, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computerised tomography (CT), Echocardiogram (ECHO). Assessed at baseline and then yearly for 5 years (with the option to extend to 10 years if further funding becomes available) 2. Phenotypic and genetic analysis of biomaterials that would normally be discarded during cardiac surgery (e.g. pericardial fluid, pieces of heart tissue and vessel removed during the operation) as well as blood and urine samples from patients and their biological mothers. Bio-samples will be stored long-term in the Bristol Biomedical Laboratory in preparation for future analyses by the children OMACp study or other ethically approved studies. Mothers and catheter patients: baseline blood and urine samples; surgery patients: baseline blood, urine and tissue when available, on arrival to PICU: blood and urine samples, 24 hours post-surgery: blood and urine samples | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Short, medium and long-term clinical outcomes in patients born with CHD undergoing cardiac surgery or catheter intervention, monitored by reviewing the patient’s medical notes yearly for 5 years (with the option to extend to 10 years if further funding becomes available) 2. NHS resource use, monitored by reviewing the patient’s medical notes yearly for 5 years (with the option to extend to 10 years if further funding becomes available) 3. Demographics collected via questionnaires at baseline 4. Patient’s quality of Life (QoL) measured using KIDSCREEN/EQ5D-Y at baseline, 3 months and 12 months post-procedure 5. Maternal demographics and information on potentially modifiable risk factors associated with CHD, assessed using questionnaire developed specifically for this study and accessing relevant pregnancy medical records at baseline 6. Genetic and phenotypical characterisation of patients and their mothers 7. MicroRNA analyses and isolation of progenitor cells when sufficient tissue, plasma and serum are available | — |
