1.3 Measure Description

Ratio of observed to expected major adverse events (MAE) among patients undergoing congenital cardiac catheterization, risk-adjusted using the Catheterization for Congenital Heart Disease Adjustment for Risk Method II (CHARM II).

        • 1.14 Numerator

          Number of diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization cases resulting in a major adverse event at an institution performing at least 50 catheterization cases per year meeting the definition of a case type for case type risk categorization in patients with congenital heart disease.

        • 1.15 Denominator

          Number of diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization cases at an institution performing at least 50 cases per year meeting the definition of a case type for case type risk categorization in patients with congenital heart disease.

        • Exclusions

          The following procedures are excluded: primary electrophysiology cases, ablation cases, pericardiocentesis only, thoracentesis only, and any procedure not performed in the catheterization laboratory, such as a case performed in an intensive care unit. In addition, cases without an assigned case type risk category are excluded.
