Prevalence and mortality of congenital heart disease in Korean adults.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to assess the age-standardized prevalence (prevalence) and age-standardized mortality (mortality) of congenital heart disease (CHD) by sex in Korean adults. Data were collected from the National Health Insurance Service in Korea from 2006 through 2016. The data consisted of main and secondary diagnoses related to CHD. We calculated the prevalence and mortality of CHD in adults with the direct method using the estimated Korean population in 2015 as the reference. The prevalence of CHD in Korean adults increased from 35.8 cases per 100,000 persons in 2006 to 65.6 cases in 2015. In 2015, the prevalence in the 20- to 44-year-old group, 45- to 64-year-old group, and the older than 65 years group was 54.6, 69.6, and 95.1 cases, respectively. Among women, the prevalence was 34.3 and 31.3 cases in men. The mortality of CHD in adults decreased from 3.061 persons per 100,000 persons in 2007 to 0.551 persons in 2015. The 5-year survival rate (SR) for people with CHD was 0.92 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.91-0.93). The 5-year SR for the 20- to 44- and 45- to 64-year-old groups was more than 0.95; however, the 5-year SR of the older than 65 years group was only 0.73 (95% CI 0.72-0.74). The prevalence of CHD in Korean adults increased and the related mortality decreased during a decade. The 5-year SR of CHD for those over 65 years was lower than that for younger age groups.

Project description:IntroductionAnxiety and depression can worsen outcome in patients with heart disease. We elucidate the prevalence of anxiety and depression in a cohort of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD).Materials and methodsProspective screening for anxiety or depression was performed in 204 consecutive patients of the outpatient clinic of our tertiary care center using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire and the distress thermometer (DT) as a potential ultra-short screening test. Functional data were assessed at liberty of the responsible physician. HADS scores ≥ 8 were considered doubtful and scores ≥ 11 as confirmed cases of anxiety or depression, respectively. HADS results were compared with a historical group of 100 patients with non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) as well as German reference values from the literature.ResultsPatients from the ACHD cohort were 28 ± 10 years old (mean ± SD, 54% male), 34% had a simple, 51% a moderate, including 52 patients with transposition of the great arteries after arterial switch operation, and 15% a heart defect of severe complexity. Prevalence of depression in ACHD was comparable to the German normal population (5.9% ACHD vs. 5.4% control). In contrast, prevalence of anxiety was higher than expected from reference values (12.7% ACHD vs. 5.6% control). There was a positive association between psychological distress and NYHA class [anxiety: OR 2.67 (95% CI, 1.50-4.76) p = 0.001; depression: OR 2.93 (95% CI, 1.60-5.35) p = 0.0005], but not with age, gender, or heart defect severity. Percentages of patients with ACHD with anxiety were significantly higher than in a cohort of patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) but comparable to those with aggressive NHL (HADS-A ≥ 11: ACHD 12.7%, indolent NHL 2.2%, aggressive NHL 13.2%; p = 0.037 ACHD vs. indolent NHL; p = 0.929 ACHD vs. aggressive NHL). The distress thermometer screening test had only a fair discriminatory ability (AUC 0.708; p = 0.002) and is therefore of limited usability.ConclusionAdults with congenital heart disease exhibit an increased risk for anxiety disorders independently of the severity of the underlying heart defect. Anxiety prevalence was comparable to a historical cohort of patients with aggressive NHL underlining the importance of a routine screening for psychosocial distress in adults with congenital heart disease.

Project description:AimsInformation on the prevalence, outcome and factors associated with heart failure in patients with adult congenital heart disease (CHD) (ACHD-HF) is lacking. We aimed at assessing the prevalence and outcome of ACHD-HF, the variables associated with ACHD-HF, and the differences between major anatomical/pathophysiological ACHD subgroups.Methods and resultsWe included 3905 patients (age 35.4 ± 13.2 years) under active follow-up in our institution (last visit >2010). Outcome of ACHD-HF cases was compared with sex- and age-matched cases. Univariable and multivariable binary logistic regression with ACHD-HF diagnosis as a dependent variable was performed. Overall prevalence of ACHD-HF was 6.4% (mean age 49.5 ± 16.7 years), but was higher in patients with cyanotic CHD (41%), Fontan circulation (30%), and a systemic right ventricle (25%). All-cause mortality was higher in ACHD-HF cases when compared with controls (mortality rate ratio 4.67 (2.36-9.27); P = 0.0001). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, age at latest follow-up [per 10 years; odds ratio (OR) 1.52; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.31-1.77], infective endocarditis (OR 4.11; 95%CI 1.80-9.38), history of atrial arrhythmia (OR 3.52; 95%CI 2.17-5.74), pacemaker implantation (OR 2.66; 95% CI 1.50-4.72), end-organ dysfunction (OR 2.41; 95% CI 1.03-5.63), New York Heart Association class (OR 9.28; 95% CI 6.04-14.25), heart rate (per 10 bpm; OR 1.27; 95% CI 1.08-1.50), ventricular dysfunction (OR 3.62; 95% CI 2.54-5.17), and pulmonary hypertension severity (OR 1.66; 95% CI 1.21-2.30) were independently related to the presence of ACHD-HF. Some variables (age, atrial arrhythmia, pacemaker, New York Heart Association, and ventricular dysfunction) were related to ACHD-HF in all anatomical/physiological subgroups, whereas others were not.ConclusionsACHD-HF is prevalent especially in complex CHD and is associated with poor prognosis. Our data provide insight in the factors related to ACHD-HF including differences between specific anatomical and physiological subgroups.
