Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Children With Congenital Heart Disease

Completed
Conditions
Congenital Heart Disease
Interventions
Other: Ages & Stages Questionnaires, Third Edition in French (ASQ-3™)
Registration Number
NCT03360370
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Lille
Brief Summary

Children with congenital heart disease are at risk for neurodevelopmental disorders, these disorders impacting their quality of life and their integration into society.

The aim of this study is to detect neurodevelopmental disorders in children (aged from 6 to 66 months) with congenital heart disease in Nord-Pas-De-Calais (France) and to evaluate the frequency and risk factors of these neurodevelopmental disorders for a better follow-up.

This study will help implementing a specific program for the evaluation and management of neurodevelopmental disorders in children suffering from congenital heart disease in Nord-Pas-De-Calais and more globally, in the region Hauts-De-France.

Detailed Description

Are selected children with "significant" congenital heart disease (aged from 6 to 66 months) in "Nord-Pas-De-Calais" fulfilling inclusion criteria. A reliable and valid questionnaire used to screen developmental delays of children aged from one month to 66 months is completed by volunteer parents at the time of the study. Data of the questionnaire is collected and a scoring by professional is provided ; children at risk for neurodevelopmental delays are depicted.

In parallel, medical and surgical history is also collected to detect risk factors for neurodevelopmental disorders.

The frequency of neurodevelopmental disorders in this screened population according to risk factors (among neonatal data, severity of congenital heart disease, surgery, length of stay at hospital,... ) will be evaluated. The ratio children with neurodevelopmental disorders for whom specific care was implemented/ children with neurodevelopmental disorders who did not have specific care despite neurodevelopmental disorders will be established.

Follow-up action will be taken for children at risk for developping neurological disorders highlighted by the screening.

This study will help implementing a specific program for evaluation and management of neurodevelopmental disorders for children with congenital heart disease in our region.

GroupInterventionDescription
6 to 66 months children with significant CHDAges & Stages Questionnaires, Third Edition in French (ASQ-3™)Children with "significant" congenital heart disease (CHD) aged from 6 to 66 months at the time of the study and fulfilling inclusion criteria for whom an age-appropriate questionnaire completed by parents (Ages \& Stages Questionnaires, Third Edition in French (ASQ-3™) will be used to screen developmental delays.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of children classified "at risk" for neuro-developmental disorders by the Age & Stage Questionnaire Third Edition in French (ASQ3) scoreBaseline: one session

The ASQ3 evaluates neurodevelopment in children by a parental questionnaire. ASQ-3 score screens 5 neurodevelopmental areas (communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving and personal-social); 30 items per questionnaire about the child's skills are evaluated. Each item could be range between Yes (The child do the action - 10 points), Sometimes (5 points) or Not yet (0 point). The scale for each areas could be from 0 (worse outcome) to 60 points (best outcome). The different areas scores are referred in a chart specific of each questionnaire. In each area the score indicates if the child's development appears to be on schedule (best outcome), need learning and attention or need to be evaluated by a professional (worse outcome, - 2 SD from the global population).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Frequency of neurodevelopmental disorders in children with congenital heart disease in this screened populationBaseline: one session

Number of children depicted with neurodevelopmental delays in comparison to children who do not have neurodevelopmental delays in the screened population

Number of Children With Documented Risk Factors for neurodevelopmental disordersBaseline: one session

The number of children with documented risk factors for neurodevelopmental disorders among neonatal data characteristics of congenital heart disease and first surgery, and comorbidities is evaluated

Frequency of neurodevelopmental disorders according to the severity of congenital heart diseaseBaseline: one session

Children with neurodevelopmental disorders are classified according to the severity of the congenital heart disease ( mild, moderate or severe congenital heart disease). The percentage of children with neurodevelopmental disorders in each category is established and compared to the others.

Ratio of children with neurodevelopmental disorders and for whom specific care was implementedBaseline: one session

The ratio of children with neurodevelopmental disorders for whom specific care was implemented /children with neurodevelopmental disorders who do not have specific care despite neurodevelopmental disorders is established
