| Factor | Clinic location--Oregon |
| Description | Clinic location was a significant predictor of having a cardiology care gap (p < 0.0001). In programs in Colorado, Oregon, and Washington State, >50% of patients reported experiencing a gap in care. |
| Biomarker | YES |
| Classification | B4 (environmental factor - other) |
| 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 | <0.002 |
| Conclusion | Coming to care at an adult CHD program in Colorado (p< 0.001), Oregon (p<0.002) and Washington State (p< 0.027) remained strong predictors of having had a gap in cardiology care. |
