P-values are determined by Fisher’s exact tests (categorical and ordinal data) and unpaired t-tests (continuous data). Significant p-vales are in bold.

a

Statistical testing for differences between d-TGA and other diagnoses.

b

Z-Score according to Voigt [30].

c

Statistical testing for differences between the arterial switch operation, Norwood I and other treatments.

d

n = 31 patients.

e

n = 8 patients.

f

Mean values were calculated using right-sided baseline rSO2 in patients with unilateral NIRS and mean of right- and left-sided baseline rSO2 in patients with bilateral NIRS.

CD: cerebral desaturation; IQR: interquartile range; NIRS: near-infrared spectroscopy; rSO2: regional cerebral oxygen saturation; SD: standard deviation; 45%rSO2: 45% of absolute rSO2; 20%BLrSO2: 20% below baseline rSO2.
