Background and Objectives: Little information is available regarding adult patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) who needed unscheduledhospitalization (USH). This paper aims to elucidate the clinical features of adult patients with CHD requiring USH. Subjects and Methods: Study subjects included patients with CHD aged 18 years or older who were hospitalized at our facility during a5-year study period. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed and data regarding USH were collected. Patient’s background, underlyingheart disease, cause of hospitalization, and prognosis (second USH regardless of cause or death) were examined. Results: Overall, 959 CHD patients underwent a total of 1761 hospitalizations, including 145 patients who were unexpectedly hospitalized239 times. The median age at USH was 27 years old. Of the 959 patients, 54% were male. Underlying heart diseases included repaired tetralogyof Fallot (21%), single ventricular physiology after Fontan operation (17%), and Eisenmenger syndrome (12%). The causes of USH includedarrhythmia (40%), heart failure (20%), infectious disease (13%), and hemorrhage or thrombus (13%). A total of 48 patients requiredreadmission. In total, 13 patients died, including four hospital deaths. The USH-free survival rate was 77% for 1 year and 58% for 3 years. Conclusion: The rate of USH was high for adults with complicated CHD. Common causes of USH included arrhythmia, heart failure, hemorrhage-related or thrombus-related conditions and infection. These data provide the current status of medical care for adult CHD patientsin Japan and their therapeutic needs.
