New environmental scan of the Canadian developmental follow-up practices for children with a CHD

We are happy to share our new publication on current developmental follow-up practices in Canada https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cjcpc.2021.11.002. In this paper, we demonstrated that only a subset of Canadian children with a complex congenital heart defect has access to a formal developmental program that can optimally identify delays. These practices are considered suboptimal from the point of view of the majority of the health care professionals we interviewed and may lead to the under-detection of developmental difficulties in this population.
