LL = lower limit; UL = upper limit; these values were calculated using the BEIR VII confidence intervals. A LL and UL was calculated for each patient, and the data presented represent the median cohort values for these limits. The 5% and 95% estimates represent the overall cohort 5% and 95% limits calculated using the standard BEIR VII age and sex specific cancer estimates. ASD = atrial septal defect; VSD = ventricular septal defect; AVCD = atrioventricular canal defect; TOF = tetralogy of Fallot; ASO = atrial switch operation.
