Article Abstract
Background: Existing studies were no exploration of the association between congenital heart disease (CHD) in children and comorbidities. This study was to assess the prevalence and number of comorbidities in CHD among children and adults, and to compare the comorbidity patterns by children and adults using association rule analysis.
Methods: Patients identified by the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) code in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) 2001-2012 and MIMIC-IV 2008-2018 were included in this cross-sectional study. Association rule analysis was used to explore associations between CHD and comorbidities in children and adults using values of support (%), confidence (%), and lift.
Results: Among 60,400 eligible patients, 1.54% of adults had CHD and 0.83% of adults had CHD with at least one comorbidity, 13.79% had CHD and 12.37% had CHD with at least one comorbidity in children. The most common comorbidities were circulatory system diseases (53.78%), endocrine diseases (35.76%), and respiratory system diseases (23.46%) in adults with CHD, and the most common comorbidities were perinatal diseases (87.50%) in children with CHD. The comorbidity rate was 90.19% and 56.68% in children and adults, respectively. In children, perinatal diseases, circulatory system diseases, and endocrine diseases had the highest prevalence. The incidence of circulatory system diseases, perinatal diseases and endocrine diseases in CHD adults was confidence = 31.56%, 36.11%, and 23.23%, respectively. Perinatal diseases were common comorbidities among all CHD severity groups in children and adults.
Conclusion: The prevalence of comorbidities in children with CHD was higher than that in adults with CHD. The most common comorbidities were perinatal diseases and endocrine diseases among children and adults with CHD, respectively. Our study provided insights into comorbidity patterns in children and adults with CHD.
