| Factor | disease complexity |
| Description | Complexity of CHD was associated with gaps in care: 59% of mild, 42% of moderate and 26% of severe disease subjects reported care gaps (p<0.0001). |
| Biomarker | NA |
| Classification | A3 (clinical factor - disease & symptom) |
| Association | |

| Application | prognosis and risk assessment |
| Objective | The goal of this project was to quantify the prevalence of gaps in cardiology care, identify predictors of gaps, and assess barriers to care among adult congenital heart disease (adult CHD) patients. |
| p Value | <0.0001 |
| Conclusion | Complexity of CHD was associated with gaps in care: 59% of mild, 42% of moderate and 26% of severe disease subjects reported care gaps (p<0.0001). |
