Timing of death, overall cohort and by shunt type

				Median age at death
Time interval	Overall	MBTS*	RVPAS*	Overall (N = 164)	MBTS (n = 95)	RVPAS (n = 69)	P value†
Randomization to Norwood discharge	88 (54)	48 (51)	40 (58)	0.69 (0.3-1.4)	0.88 (0.4-1.5)	0.46 (0.2-1.3)	.06
Norwood discharge to Stage II admission	54 (33)	39 (41)	15 (22)	3.0 (1.8-4.3)	2.6 (1.5-4.2)	3.4 (2.8-5.0)	.07
Stage II admission to Stage II discharge	16 (10)	6 (6)	10 (14)	5.3 (3.8-6.5)	4.7 (3.5-5.7)	5.8 (4.2-6.8)	.43
Stage II discharge to 12 mo	6 (4)	2 (2)	4 (6)	8.0 (6.6-9.2)	6.5 (3.7-9.2)	8.0 (7.2-9.0)	.83
Total	164 (100)	95 (58)	69 (42)	1.6 (0.6-3.7)	1.6 (0.8-3.5)	1.7 (0.4-4.2)	.78

Data are presented as number (%) (percentages may not total 100% due to rounding) or months (interquartile range). MBTS, Modified Blalock-Taussig shunt; RVPAS, right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery shunt.

^*P = .02 for timing of death by shunt type.

^†P values are from Wilcoxon rank sum test.
