Description
Summary:To compare functional health status and Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) between Fontan and non-congenital heart disease (CHD) patients in an Asian population. Functional health status and HRQoL (New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class, Duke Activity Status Index (DASI), HeartQol and EQ-5D-5L) were measured. A total of 65 patients (twenty Fontan patients, mean age 28 ± 5; and 45 age-matched non-CHD patients, mean age 33 ± 5) were recruited. After adjustment for age, gender and ethnicity, there were no significant differences in functional health status and HRQoL between groups. In an Asian population, Fontan patients have similar functional health status and Health Related Quality of Life compared to non-CHD patients.
