Brain problems occur in neonatal open heart surgery with a frequency of 20-70%, seen on neurological examination, brain imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or long term development problems such as learning disorders and hyperactivity syndromes. This study aims to determine if erythropoetin, a natural hormone made in the body, protects the brain from damage when given in high doses before and during neonatal open heart surgery. We will use brain MRI, brain wave tests (EEG), neurological examination, and long term developmental outcome testing to see if erythropoetin is better than salt water injection (placebo) in protecting the brain.

Primary | Relative Difference in Total Maturity Score (TMS) From Preoperative Brain MRI to 7 Day Postoperative MRI | TMS is a measure of developmental maturity of the brain as assessed from T1 and T2-weighted images, grading myelination, cortical infolding, involution of the germinal matrix, and presence of bands of migrating glial cells. The brain MRIs were reviewed for infarction, hemorrhage, white matter injury (WMI), or dural sinovenous thrombosis (DVST). Injuries in each category are scored 0 for none, 1 for mild, 2 for moderate, 3 for severe. The score in each category is then multiplied by a proposed outcome significance multiplier. A total injury score of 0 signifies no injury, 1-5 a mild injury, 6-10 a moderate injury, and >10 a severe injury. Range of scores is 0 - 51. Lower scores indicate less injury. The results present the relative difference of this score between the pre- and post-operative MRI. This was calculated as ((Post-operative MRI TMS - Pre-operative MRI TMS) / (Absolute(Pre-operative MRI TMS)) ). The proportion is then converted into a percentage. |

Primary | Scores on Bayley Scales of Infant Development III at Age 1 Years. | 3 domains of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development III: Cognitive, Language and Motor Minimum score = 45, maximum score = 155; Population mean = 100, SD = 15; Higher scores are indicative of better outcomes Language scores are reflective of receptive communication and expressive communication subscales. Motor scores are reflective of fine motor and gross motor subscales. | 1 year postoperatively | |
