Trends in Patient Characteristic, Cost, and Mortality Among Mechanically Ventilated Adult Patients With Congenital Heart Disease in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is an increasing number of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD), but critically ill patients with ACHD remain understudied. The objective of this study was to evaluate patient characteristics and trends in mortality of mechanically ventilated patients with ACHD.

Methods

We evaluated ACHD with an ICD-9 procedure code for mechanical ventilation using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS), a public all-payer inpatient United States database, from 2005 to 2014. Primary and secondary outcomes were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression.

Results

There were 10,962 of 77,334,704 discharges, representing 52,876 (0.6%) hospitalizations that were for patients with ACHD who required mechanical ventilation (MV). Mean age was 59 years (interquartile
