Predictors of appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy in primary preventative therapy of tetralogy of Fallot (0–2 points is low risk, 3–5 points intermediate risk and 6–12 points high risk. Adapted from Khairy et al. [20]). Significant factors on univariate and multivariate analysis are highlighted in italics
