Logarithm transformations were used on all outcome variables to make the data more normally distributed. Coefficient estimates are reported along with SE. CHD, Congenital heart defect; SE, standard error; rCMRO2, relative change in the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen; DHCA, deep hypothermic circulatory arrest; rOEF, relative change in postoperative oxygen extraction fraction; rCBF, relative change in postoperative cerebral blood flow; rCaO2, relative change in postoperative arterial oxygen concentration; TST, total support time.
