Adverse events rates and risk factors in adults undergoing cardiac catheterization at pediatric hospitals—results from the C3PO

Abstract

Adults undergoing catheterization at pediatric hospitals encountered AE less frequently than children did. The congenital heart disease adjustment for risk method for adults with congenital heart disease is a new tool for assessing procedural risk in adult patients.

“…in addition, the group has explored special characteristics in patient populations such as the adult with congenital heart disease and low birth-weight infants. 10,11 We hope to be able to provide important insight regarding the use of sedation compared to anesthesia while performing various procedure types. finally, the robust data set supported the first analysis in this discipline of operator experience and the impact on outcomes.…”

CRISP: Catheterization RISk score for pediatrics: A Report from the Congenital Cardiac Interventional Study Consortium (CCISC)

“…A significant challenge to these investigations is the retrospective analysis of databases with relatively low rate of adverse event occurrence in a diverse population with variable patient and procedural characteristics. The Congenital Cardiac Catheterization Project on Outcomes (C3PO) study group in the United States began a project in 2006 to better define adverse events and risk adjustment in the current catheterization era . This effort has yielded important information with respect to the risk associated with procedure type and developed the multivariate CHARM model for risk adjustment of outcomes.…”
