          Abstract

          Antecedentes: la cirugía cardiaca se reconoce como uno de los mayores logros de la medicina. En las últimas décadas, ha experimentado enormes progresos en relación con el perfeccionamiento de las técnicas quirúrgicas, anestésicas y de cuidado crítico, técnicas que en conjunto han permitido corregir de manera oportuna y definitiva la mayoría de cardiopatías congénitas. Objetivo: describir el porcentaje de mortalidad quirúrgica institucional de los pacientes intervenidos por cardiopatías congénitas según su nivel de complejidad (Pediatric Cardiac Care Consortium RACHS-1 - based method for Risk Adjusment for Surgery congenital Heart disease). Métodos: estudio descriptivo de corte transversal. Se revisaron las historias clínicas de los pacientes intervenidos mediante cirugía para corrección de cardiopatías congénitas de enero de 2000 a octubre de 2005. Se contemplaron las siguientes variables: grupo etáreo, clasificación del riesgo del procedimiento y número de muertes operatorias. Resultados: entre enero de 2000 y octubre de 2005 se operaron 1.132 pacientes. La mortalidad acumulada en el periodo descrito fue 7,2% y 7,8% en 2000, 13,8% en 2001, 6,5% en 2002, 7,9% en 2003, 5,1% en 2004 y 3,9 en 2005. La mortalidad por categoría de riesgo fue de 1,8% en la categoría 1, de 4,8% en la 2, de 11,8% en la 3, de 11,5 % en la 4, de 0% en la 5 y de 50% en la 6. Conclusiones: en los últimos seis años se ha observado una disminución importante en la mortalidad quirúrgica cardiovascular pediátrica. Continuar con un adecuado proceso de registro a mediano y largo plazo, permitirá analizar de manera sistemática el comportamiento de la supervivencia (tendencias), con lo cual se podrán establecer comparaciones con los principales centros de referencia del mundo.

          Background: Cardiac surgery is recognized as one of the biggest achievements in medicine. In the last decades, it has experienced enormous progresses through the improvement of the surgical, anesthetic and critical care techniques that have allowed the correction of most of the congenital cardiac defects opportunely and definitively. Method: To describe the percentage of institutional surgical mortality of patients operated for cardiac congenital defects according to the complexity level (Pediatric Cardiac Care Consortium RACHS-1 - based method for Risk Adjusment for Surgery congenital Heart disease). Results: Between January 2000 and October 2005, 1132 patients were operated. The surgical mortality accumulated in the described period was 7.2%, 7.8% in 2000, 13.8% in 2001, 6.5% in 2002, 7.9% in 2003, 5.1% in 2004 and 3.9% in 2005. The mortality by category of risk was 1.8% in the category 1, 4.8% in the category 2, 11.8% in the category 3, 11.5% in the category 4, 0% in the category 5 and 50% in the category 6. Conclusions: In the last six years, an important decrease in pediatric mortality due to cardiovascular surgical procedures has been observed. Maintaining an adequate register in the long term will allow the systematic analysis of the survival performance (tendencies) which will permit to establish comparisons with the main reference centers worldwide.

          Prevalence of congenital heart disease.

          Today most patients with congenital heart disease survive childhood to be cared for by adult cardiologists. The number of physicians that should be trained to manage these lesions is unknown because we do not know the number of patients. To answer this question, the expected numbers of infants with each major type of congenital heart defect born in each 5-year period since 1940 were estimated from birth rates and incidence. The numbers expected to survive with or without treatment were estimated from data on natural history and the results of treatment. Finally, lesions were categorized as simple, moderate, or complex, based on the amount of expertise in management needed for optimal patient care. From 1940 to 2002, about 1 million patients with simple lesions, and half that number each with moderate and complex lesions, were born in the United States. If all were treated, there would be 750,000 survivors with simple lesions, 400,000 with moderate lesions, and 180,000 with complex lesions; in addition, there would be 3,000,000 subjects alive with bicuspid aortic valves. Without treatment, the survival in each group would be 400,000, 220,000, and 30,000, respectively. The actual numbers surviving will be between these 2 sets of estimates. Survival of patients with congenital heart disease, treated or untreated, is expected to produce large numbers of adults with congenital disease, and it is likely that many more adult cardiologists will need to be trained to manage moderate and complex congenital lesions.

              Mortalidad infantil por malformaciones congénitas: Chile, 1985-2001

              En Chile, la mortalidad infantil (MI) ha bajado drásticamente en un plazo relativamente breve de tiempo. Las malformaciones congénitas y cromosomopatías (MCyC) ocupan el segundo lugar como causa de muerte en menores de 1 año. Por lo anterior, se presenta este trabajo cuyo propósito es aportar al conocimiento de la MI por MCyC, mostrando la evolución y características que ha tenido entre 1985 y el año 2001 y comparando información sociodemográfica de la MI por MCyC con aquella producida por otras causas
