Congenital Heart Disease: A Clinical, Pathological, Embryological, and Segmental Analysis
2022, Congenital Heart Disease: A Clinical, Pathological, Embryological, and Segmental AnalysisRisk Factors for Pulmonary Hypertension in Adults After Atrial Septal Defect Closure
2019, American Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :These studies were mainly published in 1970 to 1990 and consisted of a small study population with the majority having surgical ASD closure. In these studies, before ASD closure the PH prevalence and NYHA functional class was also higher 6,7,11,15; therefore, it is likely that this is a selection of more severe cases. There is no documentation on the type of patients who were lost to follow-up, but the percentage of patients lost to follow-up was clearly higher in these older studies (>25%) and selection bias could have occurred.
The prevalence of pulmonary arterial hypertension before and after atrial septal defect closure at adult age: A systematic review
2018, American Heart JournalCitation Excerpt :In addition, a high proportion of patients was lost to follow-up in the studies that reported a high PAP after ASD closure. Hanlon et al11 and Dave et al14 reported a proportion of 79% and 41% loss to follow-up after ASD closure, respectively. Because healthy patients without complaints may be more likely to withdraw from follow-up, the prevalence in these studies may be overestimated.
