Contemporary outcomes and health care costs associated with single-ventricle heart failure admissions in adults in the United States
SV-ACHD represents a small proportion of adult HF admissions, although they have increased rates of procedure utilization and increased total costs. Risk of in-hospital mortality has improved over time in SV-ACHD patients, but there remains an increased risk of mortality relative to patients with acquired HF.
