Twenty-to-thirty-seven-year follow-up after repair for Tetralogy of Fallot.
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: To describe the long-term prognosis after repair of Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary stenosis beyond 20 years. METHODS: One hundred and eighty five patients underwent corrective repair of Tetralogy of Fallot at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen between January 1960 and July 1977. Ninety seven patients had undergone a palliative operation prior to Tetralogy of Fallot repair. All the 125 patients who were discharged from the hospital were traced through the population register and the patients alive July 1997 were contacted by mail and/or telephone and questioned about use of medicine, professional status, family status and ability to perform sport activities. RESULTS: Sixty patients died in hospital and 125 patients, 78 males and 47 females, were discharged alive. Among operative survivors, median age at operation was 12.8 years (range 0.4-41 years). Thirteen patients required a reoperation, the main indication was failed VSD closure. There were 16 late cardiac deaths, out of which seven were sudden and unexpected and three were in immediate relation to reoperations. One hundred and nine patients were alive at follow-up. The mean follow-up time was 25.5 years (range 20-38 years). Sixteen percent used cardiac drugs, 89% were, or had been, working normally (all professions from academics to hard manual labors were represented), 53% (64% of women) had given birth after the repair and 51% performed sport activities regularly. No patients were lost to follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: The vast majority of the patients seemed to live normal lives 20-37 years after Tetralogy of Fallot repair. Late deaths were cardiac in origin, including sudden death from arrhythmias. The number of late reoperation has been low. Considering the natural history of the disease, Fallot repair has proven to be a beneficial procedure even including the very early experience short after introduction of open heart surgery.

The Discussion reports seven late sudden deaths and says that incidence was identical to that in another study. Table 1 lists deaths involving heart failure, but our copy does not compare heart-failure rates with other studies. Nor can this source establish whether either rate is similar to the citing authors’ own cohort. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
