Article Abstract
Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) represents a challenging problem in global health equity due to the need for specialized surgical or transcatheter intervention within the first year of life. CCHD screening using pulse oximetry (POS) has led to significant improvements in mortality due to early referral and intervention. Andean America represents one of the few regions in the world with increasing CHD deaths and variable POS implementation. In this manuscript, we review the current state of CCHD in Andean America, the challenges and opportunities for developing new POS algorithms that account for high-altitude physiology, data on regional cost-effectiveness supporting POS implementation and outline future directions to achieve equity in CHD care in this region.

This referral center's prospective inception-cohort study from 1989 to 2000 (Era 1) and 2000 to 2022 (Era 2) included 232 consecutive children having neonatal respiratory extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Kindergarten-age outcomes determined in 137/139 (95.8%) survivors were Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scales of Intelligence, Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (VMI), and sensorimotor disability, with optimal outcome defined as scores greater than or equal to 80 and without disability.
