Questions: This study aimed to describe the survival of premature infants with critical congenital heart disease (CHD) and to identify the risk factors including the new modified version of the Risk Adjustment for Congenital Heart Surgery (M-RACHS) associated with mortality.
Finding: For premature infants with critical CHD, survival rate was 76.9% and very low birth weight (VLBW), persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), and M-RACHS 5 or more were associated with in-hospital mortality.
Meaning: VLBW, PPHN and BPD, as well as M-RACHS≥5, were risk factors for mortality among premature infants with critical CHD.

Purpose : To assess the clinical characteristics and surgical approaches in different anatomical and hemodynamic types of corrected transposition of great arteries(TGA) and learn the surgical results of those patients. Methods : All 52 patients who were diagnosed as corrected TGA between December 1987 and November 1999 and their medical records were reviewed. Three groups were identified according to associated anomalies;...
