Abstract
In children undergoing CHD operation, preoperative lymphopenia is associated with increased in-hospital mortality postoperatively. Preoperative lymphopenia, neutrophilia, and thrombocytopenia are associated with longer postoperative LOS and with development of postoperative complications. Preoperative cell counts may serve as important prognostic markers in preoperative planning for patients with CHD.
