Comparison in the adult congenital heart disease severity classification of ACC/AHA and ESC guidelines in a 3,459 Mexican population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Latin American registries of clinical and demographic profiles of ACHD are scarce. International guidelines classify disease complexity with different approaches. With these two regards, a registry was carried out to examine factors associated with mortality and to compare severity classifications in our population.

Methods and results

Cross-sectional study conducted on ACHD between 2018 and 2022 to evaluate clinical and demographic characteristics and to assess the agreement between the 2020 ESC Guidelines and 2018 AHA/ACC Guidelines for the Management of Adults with Congenital Heart Disease using the kappa method. Binomial logistic regression models were used to examine correlates of mortality. 3459 patients were included [56 % women, median age 34 years
