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

Objective Determine the frequency and risk factors for adverse events (AE) for adults undergoing cardiac catheterization at pediatric hospitals. Background Adult catheterization AE rates at pediatric hospitals are not well understood. The Congenital Cardiac Catheterization Project on Outcomes (C3PO) collects data on all catheterizations at eight pediatric institutions. Methods Adult (≥18 years) case characteristics and AE were reviewed and...
