Nurse-Led screening may spot developmental issues in kids with heart defects
NCT ID NCT06431269
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether an advanced practice nurse can effectively screen for neurodevelopmental disorders (like learning or behavior problems) in children aged 1 to 5 who have congenital heart disease. Researchers will compare the nurse's screening results with a full assessment by a neuropsychologist. The goal is to see if this simpler, nurse-led approach can reliably identify children who need further evaluation, potentially making early detection more accessible.
