Detecting neurodevelopmental trajectories in congenital heart diseases with a machine-learning approach

Abstract We aimed to delineate the neuropsychological and psychopathological profiles of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and look for associations with clinical parameters. We conducted a prospective observational study in children with CHD who underwent cardiac surgery within five year...
