    Nosocomial infections significantly contribute to morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients post-congenital heart surgery.

  • 2

    The study identified four independent risk factors for nosocomial infections: younger age, mechanical ventilation duration, postoperative length of stay, and postoperative complications.

  • 3

    Sepsis and pneumonia were the most common types of nosocomial infections observed in the study population.

  • 4

    Postoperative SII was significantly lower in patients with infections but did not serve as a strong independent predictor of nosocomial infections.

  • 5

    The findings highlight the importance of infection control and management of postoperative complications in pediatric cardiac surgery.
