The incidence of extracardiac anomalies in this study was 14 %, and patients with extracardiac anomalies were highly associated with prematurity and low birth weight. Presence of extracardiac anomalies was associated with higher mortality between stage II and stage III palliation and after stage III phase, but not before stage II. Among extracardiac anomalies, renal anomalies were identified as a risk factor for mortality.
