Gaps in pediatric cardiology follow-up occur frequently in children with congenital heart disease and correlate with substantial shifts in acute healthcare utilization.
Only 60.4% of 6,969 evaluated children received recommended cardiology follow-up within two years, with increased clinic drive time significantly worsening care gap risks.
Analysis of hospital records across four regional centers demonstrates that cardiology follow-up gaps increase emergency department use, calling for clear clinical guidelines.
