Background: The Norwood operation (NO) for infants with univentricular physiology has high interstage mortality. This study evaluated outcomes and risk factors for mortality following NO. Methods: Retrospective single-center study of patients undergoing NO from 2010 to 2020. Analysis used appropriate statistics. Results: Of 269 patients undergoing NO, 213 (79.2 %) survived to discharge. Non-survivors had longer bypass times, delayed sternal closure, required nitric oxide, higher vasoactive scores, required post-operative catheterization, Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS), and longer ventilation (p
