Abbreviations are as follows: IUGR, intrauterine growth restriction; OFC, occipitofrontal circumference; NA, not available; CHD, congenital heart disease; PS, pulmonic stenosis; VSD, ventricular septal defect; ASD, atrioseptal defect; TOF, tetralogy of Fallot; FTT, failure to thrive. For weight and height, data were obtained from last examination, unless otherwise noted. Z-scores were calculated using the CDC charts for children ages 2–20. For head circumference, z-score was calculated based on published data.38
