Infographic: Practice Patterns and Outcomes of Hemodialysis in Infants Undergoing Congenital Heart Surgery in the United States

Multi-institutional study of 332 infants requiring hemodialysis after congenital heart surgery shows 46% one-year survival vs 94% in non-dialysis patients. High-volume dialysis centers achieved triple the hospital survival compared to low-volume centers, suggesting center experience significantly impacts outcomes in this high-risk population.
