| Factor | risk factors for all the events (early and late death): urgency status |
| Description | Univariate analysis found that risk factors for early and late death were those related to recipient illness, such as pre-transplant creatinine, intravenous inotropic drugs, intravenous diuretics, mechanical ventilation and presence of protein-losing enteropathy (PLE). |
| Biomarker | NA |
| Classification | A6 (clinical factor - other) |

| Conclusion | We demonstrated that heart transplantation for patients with CHD can be performed with the expectation of excellent results. Previous procedures, including the Fontan operation, do not reduce survival. Mortality is related to preoperative patient condition. We advocate early referral of complex CHD patients for transplant assessment and for inclusion in waiting lists before the detrimental effects of end-stage failure manifest themselves. |
