Abstract
The influence of key social determinants of health (sex, race and ethnicity, and local area deprivation) on childhood mortality and timing of completion of palliative stage 3 Fontan-type surgery were investigated for a nationally representative cohort of children with functionally single ventricle hearts (f-SV). The UK National Health Service provides universal free health care; therefore, ability to pay should not directly influence service access. Nevertheless, sociocultural factors and lifestyle factors may lead to outcome disparities.
