| Factor | Multiple sternotomies (≥2)-In Relation to Lung Function |
| Description | Moderate to severe impairment of lung function related to complexity of underlying cardiac defect, enlarged cardiothoracic ratio, previous thoracotomy/ies, body mass index, scoliosis, and diaphragm palsy. |
| Biomarker | YES |

| Application | prognosis |
| Objective | We investigated the prevalence of abnormal lung function, its relation to severity of underlying cardiac defect, its surgical history, and its impact on outcome across the spectrum of adult congenital heart disease. |
| p Value | <0.001 |
| Conclusion | Mildly impairment of lung function related to enlarged cardiothoracic ratio, lung hypoperfusion, amiodarone, surgical history. |
