Eight in 10 individuals with CHDs born between1980 and 1997 survived to 35 years of age, with disparities by CHD severity, noncardiac anomalies, birth weight, and maternal race and ethnicity. Among individuals without noncardiac anomalies, those with nonsevere CHDs experienced mortality between 1 and 35 years of age, similar to the general population, and those with any CHD experienced mortality between 10 and 35 years of age, similar to the general population.
