External validation of a risk score model for predicting major clinical events in adults after atrial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries
Abstract:Background: A risk model has been proposed to provide a patient individualized estimation of risk for major clinical events (heart failure, ventricular arrhythmia, all-cause mortality) in patients with transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) repaired by an atrial switch operation. The aim of this study was to externally validate the model. Methods: A retrospective, multicentric, longitudinal cohort of 417 patients with D-TGA (median age 24 years at baseline [interquartile range 18-30], 63% male) independen… Show more
