Disease severity was classified as low (\u22641 cardiovascular procedure), moderate (&gt;1 cardiovascular procedure), and high (cyanosis or single ventricle physiology).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results.<\/jats:title>\n Eighty-six of 148 parents responded (58%): 40, low severity; 36, moderate severity; and 10, high severity of illness. Parents preferred using primary care providers (PCPs) as a point of first contact for all 11 of 11 general health concerns and 5 of 7 potential cardiovascular-related concerns: chest pain (52%), syncope (73%), seeming seriously ill (79%), sports physical examination (79%), and endocarditis prophylactic antibiotics (94%). Increasing disease severity was significantly associated with preferring cardiologists for 6 of 7 cardiovascular-related concerns. Overall, 58% of parents viewed their care as a PCP\u2013cardiologist comanagement model versus a cardiologist-dominated model. Lower family income (odds ratio [OR]: 1.5; confidence interval [CI]: 1.0\u20132.2) and severity of illness (OR: 2.1; CI: 1.0\u20134.4) were associated with a comanagement model of health care versus a cardiologist-dominated model.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions.<\/jats:title>\n This study suggests that the majority of parents of teenagers with CHD prefer to use their teenager's PCP for all routine health care needs and many cardiovascular health needs. Severity of illness and family income are positively associated with greater preference for cardiologist care.<\/jats:p>\n
