ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryBayley IIIAssessed once between age 18 to 48 months (approximately 2 hours to assess), up to 48 months from study start
Neurodevelopmental assessment scores are age dependent and based motor and behavioral abilities, often reported for normal or abnormal for age. Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, third edition, (Bayley III) is an instrument designed to measure the developmental functioning of infants and toddlers between the ages of 1 month and 42 months (age adjustments for prematurity are accommodated with the tool). It provides age specific composite scores for cognitive (91 items, score min 55 max 145), language (98 items, score min 47 max 153), and motor (138 items, score min 46 max 154) skills. For all scales, higher scores are better and lower scores indicate possible delay/deficit.
PrimaryElectroencephalogram
EEG taken immediately prior to surgery, during surgery, during cardiovascular intensive care unit (CVICU) stay (up to 48 hours after surgery), and immediately prior to discharge (between 5 to 20 minutes to assess EEG at each time point)
Brain electrical activity: observation is for brain region specific abnormal or seizure activity. Number of participants with abnormal EEG are reported.
SecondaryCholine0-72 hoursblood levels: time and patient dependent variation, observed patient related trends over time
SecondaryGlutamate0-72 hoursblood levels:time and patient dependent variation, observed patient related trends over time
SecondaryN-acetylaspartate (Naa)0-72 hoursblood levels:time and patient dependent variation, observed patient related trends over time
