  7 days following the initial infusion

• Safety as assessed by liver function (indicated by aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels

  7 days following the initial infusion

• Safety as assessed by liver function (indicated by bilirubin levels)

  7 days following the initial infusion

• Safety as assessed by liver function (indicated by albumin levels)

  7 days following the initial infusion

• Safety as assessed by blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels

  7 days following the initial infusion

• Safety as assessed by creatinine levels

  7 days following the initial infusion

• Neurologic/neurodevelopmental status as assessed by intracranial abnormalities upon magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

  within 14 days of discharge (discharge occurs at about 2-4 months after birth)

• Neurologic/neurodevelopmental status as assessed by receipt of neurologic pharmacologic medications

  at the time of discharge (which is about 2-4 months after birth)

• Neurologic/neurodevelopmental status as assessed by Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-III (BSID-III)

  The Bayley-III is an individually-administered examination that assesses the current developmental functioning of infants and young children from birth to 42 months of age. The Bayley is a standardized, norm-referenced measure that assesses development in Cognitive, Language and Motor domains. Composite standard scores can be derived that have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.

  2 years after birth

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Mortality

  2 years after birth

• Length of stay in hospital

  from birth to discharge or death, whichever occurs first (discharge occurs at about 2-4 months after birth)

• Progression of pulmonary hypertension as assessed by echocardiography

  within 24 hours of birth, prior to operative repair (occurs between day 2 & 14 of life), prior to discharge (usually 2-6 months), and after discharge (2wks-6 months following discharge)

• Duration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support

  days from ECMO initiation until decannulation (an average of 3 weeks)

• Duration of ventilatory support

  from initiation of ventilation until extubation (an average of 8 weeks)
