Background-Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is frequently diagnosed prenatally, but this has not been shown to improve surgical outcome. Methods and Results-We reviewed patients with HLHS between July 1992 and March 1999 to determine the influence of prenatal diagnosis on preoperative clinical status, outcomes of stage 1 surgery, and parental decisions regarding care. Of 88 patients, 33 were diagnosed prenatally and 55 after birth. Of 33 prenatally diagnosed patients, 22 were live-born, and pregnancy was terminated in 11. Of 22 prenatally diagnosed patients who were live-born, 14 underwent surgery, and parents elected to forego treatment in 8. Of 55 patients diagnosed postnatally, 38 underwent surgery, and 17 did not because of parental decisions or clinical considerations. Prenatally diagnosed patients were less likely to undergo surgery than patients diagnosed after birth (P=0.008), Among live-born infants, there was a similar rate of nonintervention. Among patients who underwent surgery, survival was 75% (39/52). All patients who had a prenatal diagnosis and underwent surgery survived, whereas only 25 of 38 postnatally diagnosed patients survived (P=0.009). Patients diagnosed prenatally had a lower incidence of preoperative acidosis (P=0.02), tricuspid regurgitation (P=0.001), and ventricular dysfunction (P=0.004). They were also less likely to need preoperative inotropic medications or bicarbonate (P=0.005). Preoperative factors correlating with early mortality included postnatal diagnosis (P=0.009), more severe acidosis (P=0.03), need for bicarbonate or inotropes (P=0.008 and 0.04), and ventricular dysfunction (P=0.05). Conclusions-Prenatal diagnosis of HLHS was associated with improved preoperative clinical status and with improved survival after first-stage palliation in comparison with patients diagnosed after birth.
