BACKGROUND: Ventricular assist devices (VADs) support children with heart failure. The objective is to report on the nutrition outcomes of children requiring VAD.
METHODS: This was a retrospective study performed in a tertiary care center. All patients undergoing VAD placement from 2010 to 2018 were included. Exclusion criteria were VAD placement in outside hospitals, missing baseline anthropometrics, and death in the first 15 days post-VAD. Clinical, demographic, and nutrition data were collected from baseline and at 2 months post-VAD. Descriptive statistics were used.
RESULTS: Of the 52 patients who had undergone VAD placement, 49 (65% male, 80% with cardiomyopathy; median age at VAD, 8 years) met the study criteria. The median length of stay following VAD was 63 days. Eight patients (16%) had malnutrition at baseline (five mild, two moderate, and one severe). At 2 months post-VAD, seven (of 49) patients had undergone heart transplantation and three (6%) were deceased. The proportion of patients with malnutrition was significantly different at 2 months post-VAD (P = 0.009), with six patients showing evidence of malnutrition (three mild, two moderate, and one severe; body mass index z score at baseline vs 2 months: 0.11 (± 1.72) vs 0.43 (± 0.94), P = 0.049). The percent of required energy consumed increased from 77% at baseline to 90% at 2 months post-VAD (P = 0.021). The proportion of patients fed solely enterally also increased (62% vs 84%, respectively; P = 0.042).
CONCLUSION: VADs are associated with improved nutrition outcomes. Future studies should investigate the impact of VADs on body composition and longer-term outcomes.
