Figure 2. Standardized physical and mental health‐related quality of life of adults with CHD by disability type: CH STRONG (Congenital Heart Survey to Recognize Outcomes, Needs, and Well‐Being), 2016–2019.

Physical (A) and mental (B) HRQOL T‐scores were standardized to the CH STRONG eligible sample (n=9312) by site, sex, race and ethnicity, birth year, and CHD severity. Mean T‐scores for physical and mental HRQOL among individuals with CHD and disabilities were lower than reference population values, and those with some disabilities fall below the cutoffs for impaired HRQOL. CHD indicates congenital heart defect; GMH, Global Mental Health; GPH, Global Physical Health; and HRQOL, health‐related quality of life. *Reference mean population scores denoted by letter R. ^†Cutoffs for impaired HRQOL denoted by letter I.
