| Factor | Pulmonary vascular resistance index (PVRI) at baseline |
| Description | pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) < 6.65 Wood units (WU)/m2 indicated a good prognosis after surgical correction with an area under the curve (AUC) of 98.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 96.0–100%), sensitivity of 100%, and specificity of 82.1% |
| Biomarker | YES |
| Classification | E10 (physiological factor - other) |

| Objective | evaluated the predictors and prognoses of children with PAH-CHD who underwent surgical correction. |
| p Value | <0.001 |
| Conclusion | Although the criteria for positive AVT currently used are unsuitable for pediatric patients with PAH-CHD, PVR and PVR/SVR during AVT are excellent predictors of outcome in pediatric PAH-CHD. Surgery aided by anti-PAH drugs is an effective strategy and should be recommended for severe pediatric PAH-CHD with PVR ≤ 6.65WU/m2 and PVR/SVR ≤ 0.39 after iloprost aerosol inhalation. |
