N: number of patients in group, Age: average age in years ± SD; Exam/patient, the number of echocardiographic examinations per patient throughout the hospitalization, measured as mean ± SD, Structural defects: total number of structural congenital heart defects (i.e. ventricular outflow or inflow obstructions, left-right or right-left shunts, critical, complex and combined defects), Functional abnormalities: total number of functional abnormalities (tricuspid valve regurgitation > 15 mmHg or/and mitral regurgitation > 10 mmHg), RAPM ratio: Ratio of Actual to Predicted Mortality expressed as mean ± SD.
