This consensus statement identifies public health barriers to optimum patient outcomes in the care of children with congenital heart disease. The article highlights challenges for patient populations, healthcare delivery, and the healthcare workforce and makes recommendations for policy and advocacy efforts to address these barriers.

J Am Heart Assoc. 2022;11(8):e025358. https://doi.org/10.1161/JAHA.122.025358. This AHA scientific statement outlines current disparities in outcomes for children with congenital heart disease and identifies a multitude of systemic factors that contribute to healthcare inequities. The article proposes strategies for reducing disparities as well as future research needs.

Ann thorac surg. 2022;113(1):157–65. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.04.008. This study examines disparities in outcomes of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) based on socioeconomic and racial (SER) differences by querying the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database. More than 166,000 admissions for CHD from 52 hospitals were identified and outcome disparities were identified based on SER differences, particularly for children with complex CHD.

Heart transplantation in children with down syndrome. J Am Heart Assoc. 2022;11(10):e024883. https://doi.org/10.1161/JAHA.121.024883. This retrospective case series investigates outcomes of children with trisomy 21 who received heart transplants between 1992 and 2020. Waitlist and transplant outcomes were found to be comparable to the general population of children receiving heart transplant. The authors suggest that trisomy 21 alone should not be considered an absolute contraindication to pediatric heart transplant.
