Figure 1. — Percentage changes in reason for hospitalization and disease complexity of the patients admitted in our CHD tertiary centre during the Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic (March-April 2020) and in a corresponding period of the previous year. (A) Disease complexity according to the Task Force 1 of the 32nd Bethesda conference (4) of the adult patients with CHD admitted to our institution during the period of study. Patients admitted during the pandemic had significantly greater disease complexity compared to the pre-pandemic period (simple vs moderate/complex defect p = 0.001). (B) Primary reason for hospital admission of adult patients with CHD. Asterisks indicate p-values<0.05 between subgroups. Cath = Catheterization; HF = Heart failure; IE = Infective endocarditis.
