Related Articles Longitudinal Health Care Cost in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome Palliation. Pediatr Cardiol. 2018 Aug;39(6):1210-1215 Authors: Hansen JE, Madsen NL, Bishop L, Morales DLS, Anderson JB Abstract Management of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is resource intensive. Heath care systems are pressured to provide value to patients by improving outcomes while decreasing costs. A single-center retrospective cohort of infants with HLHS who underwent Norwood procedure or hybrid Norwood from 2004 to 2014 and survived to first outpatient follow up were studied. The primary outcome was total cost through 12 months with a sub-analysis of patients with 60 months of data. Costs…
