A myriad of factors, including, but not limited to, race, education, and socioeconomic status, have been shown to affect ACHD outcomes. Existing data from hospitalizations, mortality and morbidity, advanced care planning, patient and physician awareness, financial factors, and education alongside race and socioeconomic status present differences in ACHD outcomes. With SDOH having a significant impact on ACHD subspecialty care outcomes, ACHD centers need to be constantly adapting and innovating, incorporating SDOH into patient management, and providing additional healthcare resources to manage the care of ACHD.
