The risk analysis was performed using a Cox regression model with time-varying covariate for ventricular dysfunction and AVVR after Fontan. The reference groups of covariates are as follows: HLHS vs. non-HLHS, Heterotaxy vs. non-heterotaxy, morphologic RV vs. morphologic LV/2 ventricle morphology.

AVVR = atrioventricular valve regurgitation; BW = body weight; CI = confidence interval; CPB = cardiopulmonary bypass; CT = chest tube; HLHS = hypoplastic left heart syndrome; HR = hazard ratio; LOS = length of hospital stay; LT = lateral tunnel; PAP = pulmonary artery pressure; RV = right ventricle.
