ABSTRACT
Introduction. Current world tendency is the detection of
health problems in order to offer solution alternatives by
means of the development of computarized data bases.
Objective.
To present the results of a computerized data base
developed for the registry of pediatric cardiac surgery with
the support of Asociación Mexicana de Especialistas en Cardiopatías
Congénitas (AMECC, A.C.).
Material and methods.
A one-year analysis (from August 1, 2011 to July 31,
2012) of a computerized data base was performed with the
support of AMECC and the participation of the most important
Mexican institutions for pediatric surgical heart disease
health care, particularly for the uninsured population.
Results.
There were 7 health institutions voluntarily incorporated
to the national data base registry, and in the first year
of observation, 943 surgical procedures in 880 patients and
7% re-operations (n = 63), were reported. Patients up to oneyear
old accounted for 38%. The most frequent types of operated
congenital heart diseases were: patent ductus
arteriosus (n = 96), ventricular septal defect (n = 86), tetralogy
of Fallot (n = 72), atrial septal defect (n = 68), and aortic
coarctation (n = 54). Elective procedures were 90%, and
62% of them were performed with the use of cardiopulmonary
bypass. Overall mortality was 7.5% with the following RACHS-1
score risk distribution: 1 (n = 4.2%), 2 (n = 19.6%), 3 (n = 22.8%),
4 (n = 12.19%), 5 (n = 1.25%), 6 (n = 6.44%) and not classifiable
(n = 2.9%).
Conclusions. Although this analysis gives
a representative vision of the cardiovascular surgical health
care for the uninsured national pediatric population, the incorporation
of other health institutions to this data base
may lead us to have a most realistic overview in relation
to the surgical cardiovascular health care for the up to
18 year-old population.
