Table 3.
Prevalence and rates of reported first occurrence of a cardiac condition
Survivors | Siblings | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Prevalence (n (%)) | Rate (95% CI) per 10 000 person years§ | Prevalence (n (%)) | ||
Congestive heart failure* | 248 (1.7) | 9.7 (9.4 to 10.1) | 7 (0.2) | |
Myocardial infarction | 101 (0.7) | 2.8 (2.4 to 3.3) | 6 (0.2) | |
Pericardial disease† | 181 (1.3) | 5.8 (5.4 to 6.4) | 13 (0.3) | |
Valvular abnormalities‡ | 238 (1.6) | 6.4 (5.9 to 7.1) | 21 (0.5) |
*Congestive heart failure or cardiomyopathy.
†Pericarditis or pericardial constriction.
‡Stiff or leaking heart valves.
§Age adjusted and predicted at median survivors’ age of 20 years; too few events for stable age adjusted rate estimation among siblings.
