Abstract
Results: Unplanned hospitalization was required for 35.4％ of children with congenital heart disease in infancy. Most of these hospitalized patients were aged ＜1 year (31.7％), and many of them had chromosomal abnormalities. The main causes were respiratory complications such as pneumonia and bronchitis as well as worsening cardiorespiratory status, including heart failure, low SpO2, cyanosis, and hypoxemia. Home oxygen therapy was used in 50.3％, home ventilatory therapy in 7.9％, and home tube-feeding therapy in 26.0％.
