Evaluating the Prevalence of Optimal Neurodevelopmental Outcome at 4.5‐Years in Children Previously on Ventricular Assist Device Support

Pediatric Transplantation, Volume 30, Issue 2, February 2026.
One third of children implanted with a VAD at < 6 years of age will have an optimal neurodevelopmental outcome. Being female and having a VAD implanted after 2015 is associated with an optimal outcome while a neurological insult is associated with a nonoptimal outcome.
