    This single-centre cross-sectional study assessed 24 Thai children aged 4 to 18 years after arterial switch repair for D-transposition of the great arteries.

  • 2

    Mean KBIT-2 composite IQ was 89.0, and 11 of 24 children had scores below 90.

  • 3

    Parent-reported inattention and peer problems were inversely associated with total PedsQL, whereas prosocial behaviour was positively associated.

  • 4

    KBIT-2 composite IQ was not significantly associated with total PedsQL, while preoperative oxygen saturation was associated with IQ after adjustment for delivery mode.

  • 5

    The small, cross-sectional study relied on retrospective oxygenation data and parent-reported outcomes, and did not correct for multiple testing.
