Figure 6 Competing risks depiction of events after initial palliation in 128 children who underwent initial palliation, either right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction (n = 23) or initial systemic-pulmonary artery shunt placement (n = 105). Competing risks analysis predicted that at 10 years after palliation, 68% had achieved complete repair, 22% had died without complete repair, and 10% remained alive without complete repair. Solid lines represent parametric point estimates, dashed lines enclose 70% confidence limits, circles with error bars represent nonparametric estimates, numbers in parentheses indicate the estimated proportion of patients in each state at 10 years from palliation.
