Abstract Objective: Serum ferritin has been identified as a prognostic marker in
patients with a variety of diseases. In the present study we aim to determine the
prevalence of risk factors and outcomes for hyperferritinemia in children undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass for congenital heart defects.
Methods: The serum ferritin levels of 457 children between the ages of twentyeight days and three years undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery between
June 1, 2017 and June 1, 2018 were analyzed. The prevalence of early postoperative hyperferritinemia was investigated; hyperferritinemia was defined as a ferritin
level ≥250 ng/ml. Multivariable regression… More >
