Martínez‐Quintana et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Congenital heart disease (CHD) (n=169). NYHA functional class II and III vs. NYHA functional class I was evaluated on Borderline or abnormal Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) score (≥ 8) (OR 1.88, 95% CI 1.01-3.52, p=<0.05). In patients with congenital heart disease, having a New York Heart Association functional class of II or III was a significant predictor of psychological distress (HADS score ≥ 8) with an OR of 1.88.
