Abstract

Over the past two decades, tremendous progress had been made in the field of congenital heart disease outcomes analysis [1–85]. Efforts are ongoing to continue to improve the techniques and technologies available to evaluate the outcomes of treatments for congenital heart disease. The rationale for this goal is multifactorial. The techniques and technologies of outcomes analysis for congenital heart disease can function as tools to support a variety of purposes: Patient care for the one million new patients born worldwide each year with congenital heart disease (130,013,274 births per year estimated for 2005 with 8 children per 1,000 births with congenital heart disease = 1,040,106 new patients each year with congenital heart disease) Research Teaching Practice management Resource allocation Outcomes analysis designed to lead to quality improvement
