Figure 1 Interval to first extubation, early mortality, and Norwood hospital length of stay stratified by technical performance score class. Class 3 subjects had a significantly longer interval to first extubation, greater early mortality, and longer Norwood hospital length of stay.

Figure E1 Box plots of Bayley psychomotor developmental index (PDI) and mental developmental index (MDI) scores by technical performance score (TPS) class. Those with class 1, optimal TPS, had higher MDI and PDI scores. Asterisk represents the mean, and the bottom, center, and top edges of the box represent the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles.
