Widening our Focus: Characterizing Socioeconomic and Racial Disparities in Congenital Heart Disease.

Background: Socioeconomic and racial (SER) disparities among patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) may limit access to high-quality care. We characterized the national SER landscape and its relationship to early outcomes and identified interactions among determinants mitigating adverse outcome.

Methods: The Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database was queried for patients (age <26 years) with CHD between 2016 and 2018.
