Objectives Determine factors associated with malnutrition in pediatric patients of 0 to 18 years of age diagnosed with congenital heart disease in the INSN, Lima, Peru. Methods Cross-sectional analytical study with prospective data collection of pediatric patients from 0 to less than 18 years of age with echocardiographic diagnosis of congenital heart disease from the pediatric cardiology clinic of the National Institute of Child Health (INSN) in 2017. Moderate to severe malnutrition was defined as Z values <-2 standard deviations of the normal distribution of weight for age (global malnutrition or underweight), height for age (chronic malnutrition or stunting) or weight for height (acute malnutrition or wasting). The diagnosis of anemia was established with values of hemoglobin below normal values established by the technical norm MINSA 2017. The associations of patient characteristics and malnutrition were determined using Poisson regression models with robust variance, reporting the prevalence ratio (PR ) and their respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results We evaluated 148 children, of whom 52% were women and with a higher prevalence of children between 1 and 5 years old (43%). Moderate to severe malnutrition represented 60% of the studied population, being 50%, 35.8% and 14.9% growth retardation, underweight and wasting respectively; while anemia 47%. In the multivariate model, it was found that patients with Down syndrome (PR 1.41, 95% CI 1.14-1.74, p = 0.001) are more likely to present malnutrition. Anemia and other potential factors were not associated with the presence of malnutrition. Conclusions Cardiopathic pediatric patients with Down syndrome are more likely to have moderate to severe malnutrition. Nutritional interventions in these subgroups of cardiac patients can potentially decrease the presence of malnutrition.
