Impact of Remoteness of Residence and Socioeconomic Status on Outcomes Among Children With Heart Disease in Alberta
Age at diagnosis, time to intervention, annual primary care visits, and transplant-free all-cause survival were not impacted by RoR or SES in children with heart disease. Greater RoR and SES, however, were associated with fewer annual cardiology visits and increased annual emergency room visits, which highlights the need for novel surveillance strategies for remote pediatric patients with heart disease.
