Preoperative serum cortisone levels are associated with cognition in preschool-aged children with tetralogy of Fallot after corrective surgery: new evidence from human populations and mice

Our study findings emphasized that preoperative levels of cortisone could influence cerebral development and cognition abilities in children with TOF.PMID:37737505 | DOI:10.1007/s12519-023-00754-2
