    Abstract Objective: Children with single ventricle cardiac disease (SVCD) have poor growth in early life. Tube‐assisted feeding (TF) is used to improve weight gain, but its impact on long‐term growth remains unknown. We sought to compare the longitudinal growth of SVCD patients receiving TF after initial cardiac surgery with those fed entirely by mouth.
    Design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of SVCD patients who under‐ went initial surgical palliation between 1999 and 2009. We defined TF as the use of nasogastric, gastrostomy, or jejunostomy TF. We compared maximal attained growth z‐scores for each year of life between… More >
