Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare and life-threatening condition, and long-term patient outcomes remain to be fully explored. This registry-based national cohort study including all Danish children born with TAPVC between 2000 and 2018 aimed to evaluate the survival rates of Danish children receiving a TAPVC repair procedure. Additionally, the prevalence of early morbidity, severe chronic diseases, and mental and/or behavioral disorders in children diagnosed with TAPVC was investigated using Danish health registries. A total of 89 children with TAPVC were identified, of whom 65 underwent primary repair. Among those receiving surgery, the survival rate was 88% at 3 months, decreasing to 78% at 20 years. In the cohort of children with a TAPVC primary repair, 26% had one or more hospital visits with primary or secondary chronic somatic diagnoses, and 8% had one or more hospital visits with a mental and/or behavioral disorder. In comparison, 6% of all Danish children born during the same period had similar hospital visits for somatic diseases, and 3% for mental and/or behavioral disorders. The survival rate of our TAPVC cohort aligns with that reported in the literature. Furthermore, this study highlights the need for additional research into the physical and mental health of these children, as they require hospital care more frequently than their peers.
完全性肺静脉异位连接(TAPVC)是一种罕见且危及生命的疾病,患者的长期预后仍有待充分探索。这项基于登记处的全国队列研究纳入了2000年至2018年间丹麦所有出生时患有TAPVC的儿童,旨在评估接受TAPVC修复手术的丹麦儿童的生存率。此外,利用丹麦健康登记处调查了被诊断为TAPVC的儿童早期发病、严重慢性病以及精神和/或行为障碍的患病率。共识别出89例TAPVC患儿,其中65例接受了初次修复。在接受手术的患儿中,3个月时的生存率为88%,20岁时降至78%。在接受TAPVC初次修复的儿童队列中,26%有一次或多次因原发性或继发性慢性躯体诊断而住院,8%有一次或多次因精神和/或行为障碍而住院。相比之下,同期出生的所有丹麦儿童中,6%因躯体疾病有类似的住院情况,3%因精神和/或行为障碍住院。我们的TAPVC队列的生存率与文献报道一致。此外,这项研究强调需要对这些儿童的身心健康进行更多研究,因为他们比同龄人更频繁地需要住院治疗。
