BACKGROUND: Children with CHD who have undergone corrective or palliative surgery are at increased risk for developmental delays. One important aspect is the development of emotional intelligence. Although emotional intelligence is not explicitly included in the current neurodevelopmental battery testing, increasing evidence supports the inclusion of it.
METHODS: In this prospective, single-centre, cross-sectional pilot study, we analysed emotional intelligence in a broad spectrum of English-speaking paediatric patients, aged 7 to 17 years old, with a confirmed CHD and without moderate-to-severe developmental delay. We evaluated emotional intelligence using the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Version questionnaire, administered parent questionnaires, and reviewed medical records. We determined associations between components of the Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Version and pertinent demographic and clinical variables using one-way ANOVA and multivariable regression.
RESULTS: A total of 67 patients were included in this study; 68.7% underwent cardiac surgery in infancy, 74.2% with cardiopulmonary bypass. Children with greater CHD severity had lower emotional quotient scores, and there was a significant inverse relationship between social vulnerability index scores and emotional quotient scores. Multivariable modelling showed that social vulnerability scores explained 25.1% of emotional quotient total variance. Higher CHD severity, surgical complexity, multiple operations, and higher social vulnerability scores were associated with lower emotional quotient stress and adaptability.
CONCLUSION: Emotional intelligence is a modifiable component of developmental progression of children with CHD and can provide a complementary perspective of neurodevelopmental functioning. Addition of the Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Version to the battery of testing may be considered.
