Popis: Introduction: Adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at increased risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including stroke, myocardial infarctions, and heart failure. Following survival of MACE, an important metric of resultant morbidity is re-entry to the workforce. This study sought to characterize the differences in return-to-work (RTW) characteristics between the MACE survivors with CHD and those in the general population without CHD. Methods: By linking Danish health and administrative registries, a cohort of adults with CHD who survived a MACE were matched 1:10 by age …
