Table depicts ρ for Spearman's correlation of the ranks of hospital‐level adjusted costs between procedures. The P evaluates the null hypothesis that there is no correlation between ranks of cost between the 2 procedures. ASD indicates atrial septal defect; OHT, orthotopic heart transplantation; PA, pulmonary artery; PDA, patent ductus arteriosus; PH, pulmonary hypertension; TC‐PVR, transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement.
