Core Tip Developmental disabilities arise from the interaction of clinical factors (cardiac surgery, neonatal complications) and environmental determinants (maternal mental health, poverty, COVID-19-related disruptions). Cardiac surgery outcomes are largely driven by perioperative complexity and intensive care morbidity rather than surgical technique alone. Maternal mental illness shows strong associations with adverse child outcomes, and multidomain, family-centered early interventions—including telehealth delivery—produce meaningful improvements across developmental domains. Pediatric systems should integrate systematic developmental surveillance, caregiver mental health care, and equitable access to early intervention, especially for children whose early years overlapped with the COVID-19 pandemic.
