Figure 1 Trends in Z-Scores for Weight Over Time
There was a significant decrease in z-scores for weight before bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) (p < 0.01). There was a significant increase in z-scores for weight in the pre-Fontan period (p < 0.01), which levels off after completion of the Fontan (p < 0.01).

Figure 2 Trends in Z-Scores for Height Over Time
There was a small but significant increase in z-scores for height in the pre-Fontan period (p = 0.02). No significant change was seen in z-scores for height in the post-Fontan period (p = 0.29). BCPS = bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt.

Figure 3 Trend in Z-Scores for Weight-for-Height Over Time
The z-scores for weight-for-height remained unchanged throughout the pre-bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) period. There was a significant increase in z-scores for weight-for-height in the pre-Fontan period (p = 0.01), which levels off after completion of the Fontan (p < 0.01).

Figure 4 Effect of RA Pressure on Trends in Z-Scores for Weight Over Time Before the BCPS
Higher right atrial (RA) pressure was associated with greater decline in z-scores for weight from birth until the bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) (p = 0.02).

Figure 5 Effect of Venous Collaterals on Z-Scores for Weight Over Time
Growth was impaired in patients with >2 collaterals in the pre-Fontan (p < 0.01) and in the post-Fontan (p = 0.01) period. No difference was seen between patients after embolization of collaterals and those who had <2 active collaterals (p = 0.89 pre-Fontan; p = 0.19 post-Fontan).
