Trial summary

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of birth defects, with an incidence of 0.8%. Since the 1980s, France has been a pioneer in neonatal CHD surgery (Pr. Fontan, Pr. Lecomte, Pr. Serraf, etc.), in prenatal diagnosis, and in interventional cardiac catheterization. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Epidemiology of Congenital Heart Disease in France : EPIDEMIO-CHD

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of birth defects, with an incidence of 0.8%. Since the 1980s, France has been a pioneer in neonatal CHD surgery (Pr. Fontan, Pr. Lecomte, Pr. Serraf, etc.), in prenatal diagnosis, and in interventional cardiac catheterization.

Actually, first children operated for complex CHD have reached adulthood and a new epidemiology of CHD is emerging. Currently, one of the public health challenges is the need to maintain appropriate follow-up and to avoid disruption of care during the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Thus, the national health authorities (DGOS) recently certified a national network of expert centers for complex CHD (M3C).

In addition, under the leadership of the French Society of Cardiology, the sub-specialty of Pediatric and Congenital Cardiology has been recognized.

However, while North American and North European countries have published their updated data on the main indicators of CHD morbidity and mortality, no study has reported epidemiology of CHD in France.

Currently, available data are approximate, estimating that 200,000 children and 250,000 adults would be living in France with a CHD. Nevertheless, no information is available on hospitalizations, type of CHD, their follow-up, possible disruption in care, and morbidity and mortality in patients with CHD in France. This epidemiological study will use the national health insurance hospital database to answer these questions.

Read the detailed description

Retrospective epidemiological study based on the national health insurance hospital database from 2010 to 2020 (10 years):

Main objective:

  • To assess the prevalence of patients with CHD hospitalized in France over 10 years.

Secondary objectives: asess over the same period:

  • Overall mortality rate according to the CHD classification and the geographic area
  • Overall morbidity rate, according to the CHD classification and the geographic area
  • Overall cardiac surgery-related mortality rate (cardiac surgery and other surgery), according to the CHD classification (adjusted for the severity of the CHD and the surgical procedure) and to geographic area
  • Overall cardiac catheter-related mortality rate, according to the CHD classification (adjusted for the severity of the CHD and the catheterization procedure) and to geographic area
  • CHD follow-up within and outside the national M3C network
  • Periods of loss of cardiological follow-up (within or outside the M3C network, in hospital or in town)
  • Obstetrical data for women (parity, pregnancy)
  • The existence of a prenatal diagnosis (yes / no and the term of pregnancy at the time of diagnosis of CHD)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congenital Heart Disease, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of patients with CHD hospitalized in France (time frame: 10 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Mar 2021.
