Performance of the “GUCH morbidity and mortality scores” in cyanotic and non-cyanotic adults with congenital heart disease

Cyanotic adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) rely on life-sustaining adaptations to their chronic cyanosis and are at risk of adverse consequences if such adaptations are out of balance. They may benefit from surgical treatment options that were not available during their childhood.
