Him ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTION Incidence, Causes, and Outcomes of Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Children Jefirey A Towbin, MD) ox, MD, PhD arie, MD. MD Tharles Canter, MD James D. Wilkinson, MD tz, MD. = ARDIOMYOPATHIES ARE HEART muscle disorders that allect ventricular systolic fune- tion, diastolic function, or both. They are classified by the World Health Organization as (1) dilated ear- diomyopathy (DCM), (2) hyper- trophic cardiomyopathy, (3) restric live cardiomyopathy, and (4) arrhythmogenic right ventricular dys- plasia-cardiomyopathy.! Most pa- tients have “pure” forms of these dis- orders that fulfill strict diagnostic criteria, although some have overlap- ping disorders with mixed forms of di cease. Despite long-standing interest in these high-impact disorders, the de- mographics and underlying causes have been difficult toascertain, particularly in children. Dilated cardiomyopathy, a myocar dial disorder characterized by a dilated left ventricular (LV) chamber and sys- tolie dysfunction that commonly results in congestive heart failure (CHE),! is the most common form of cardiomyopathy and reason for car- (©2006 American Medical Assoc Downloaded From: on 10/22/2017 Context Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) isthe most common form of eardiomyop- aihy and cause of cardiac vansplantation in chidren.

Infants and older children, however, appear to hhave a wider spectrum of causes," although identifying these causes has been dificult Relatively le information om the in- idence of cardiomyopathies in child- hhood has been published."* Arola et a reported an incidence of DCM of (0.34 cases per 100000 children per y and a prevalence of 2.6 cases per 100.000 children in Finland, a racially homogeneous population. A large per- centage of eases occurred in infants (<1 year of age; 3.8 per 100000 cases per year). Recently, our group, the Pediat- rie Cardiomyopathy Registry (PCMR), reported the incidence of pediatric car~ diomyopathy in 2 regions of the United States, New England and the central Southwest." A total of 467 cases of childhood cardiomyopathy were re- ported, yielding an annual incidence of 1.13 per 100000 infants and children overall, with differences by race, se and region, These data are supported by similar findings in Australis." The PCMR report defines the overall inci- dence of all forms of childhood cardi- ‘myopathy but has limited details re- ‘garding the eauses, risks, and outcomes fof specific forms of cardiomyopathy. However, more detailed information fo- cusing on particular forms of cardio- myopathy is required for clinicians to understand the clinical disorders of in- dividual patients The current report provides the most up-to-date estimates of the incidence of DCM in patients younger than 18 years living in 2 regions of the United States, as well as a detailed description of the causes, outcomes, and related risk fae- tots for DCM in children, METHODS: Study Design Two PMR cohorts were established, The first is a population-based, pro- $868 JAMA October 18, 2005 Vol 296, No 15 Rept Downloaded From: on 10/22/2017 spective cohort of patients younger than 18 years who have been diagnosed as having DCM between January 1, 1996, and February 25, 2003, at 98 pediatric cardise centers and is based on ident fication atthe time of diagnosis by pe- diatric cardiologist. Por this cohort, comprehensive patient enrollment was conducted in 2 geographically dis- tinct regions of the United States (New England and the central Southwest). Inaddition, a retrospective cohort of pa- dents seen primarily at 39 tertiary care centers in North America and who had diagnoses between January 1, 1990,and December 31, 1995, was identified by chart review. Both groups are fol- lowed up using annual chart review. and enrollment of newly diagnosed cases is ongoing. All participating PCM centers obtained institutional re- view board or ethics committee ap- proval with a waiver of consent autho- ization. The participating centers and associated investigators representing the PCM Study Group are detailed by Gre- rier et al. Eligibility Criteria All patients with cardiomyopathy were {identified by clinical presentation to a pediatric cardiologist with signs and symptoms of hear failure, sudden death or aborted sudden death, or evalua- tion for possible cardiomyopathy be- cause of familial inheritance. In add don, autopsy reports were evaluated in a retrospective case review. Sudden death was captured by review of the car- diology and pathology medical records. A variety of diagnostic exclusion ert- teria” were used, including endocrine disorders oF immunologic diseases known to cause heart muscle disease, treatment with doxorubietn, and in- flammation caused by human immu- nodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (or birth to an HIV-positive mother) or by Kawasaki disease ‘A patient is eligible for the PCM i{ he/she is younger than 18 years, strict quantitative echocardiographic criteria of LV dilation and systolic dysfunction are met, the pattern of cardiomyopathy conforms to a defined semiquantitative pattern, the diagnosis is confirmed by autopsy or tissue analysis, or the investigator has other compelling evidence of cardiomyopathy. This analysis focuses on pure DCM, defined as the presence of DCM at di- agnosis, excluding any additional over- lapping cardiac phenotype (n=1426). Cases of mixed functional DCM, including a combination of DCM. with hypertrophic, restrictive, arhyth- mogenic, noncompaction without gene mapping, or other functional types of cardiac disorder, were excluded. A sul- ficient number of significant differ ences in characteristics at diagnosis ‘were found between patients in these 2 categories, and genetic and clinical studies indicate that mixed functional lypes of DCM have different causes than, pure DCM and therefore are not re resentative of DCM as a classification, In addition, classification schemes for cardiomyopathy were developed on the basis of pure DCM." Data Collection Following patient identification, con- lirmation of eligibility and enrollment are established by chart review per- formed by study personnel using a unique study identifier to ensure con- Iidentiality. Supplemental informa- tion on clinical history, procedures, and ‘outcomes is obtained annually for all patients, and information on family his- tory, results of laboratory studies, and therapies administered is additionally collected for retrospective cohort pa- Lients, All patients are seen by thelr pri- mary pediatric cardiologist in follow- up, and data reported are based on ‘comprehensive chart review of each pa- Statistical Methods The clinical components ofthis report include all patients who were enrolled in the PCMR as of February 25, 2003, and the incidence rates are based on all cardiomyopathy diagnoses in the New England and central Southwest re- flons between January 1, 1996, and De- cember 31, 2002.

Population de- rominalors used for ineidence rate eal culations were obtained from the state- specific US census counts for 1996 through 2002, Race/ethnicity was assessed to cre- tea subgroup factor for ineidence rates and clinical outcomes, Asa result of di ferences between race/ethnicity defini- tions in the US Census and the PCMR, both an upperand a lower estimate for incidence rates are given for white, black, and Hispanic children. The PCMR data on race/ethnicity consist of single question with choi black, Hispanic, Native American, Asian/Pacific Islander, or other. How ofwhite, fever, the census data on race/ethnicity ceros-tabullates Hispanic status by r= cial category. Therefore, we caleu- lated both lower-hound and upper- bound estimates of race-specilic incidence rates. The lower-bound e Limate includes all white Hispanics and black Hispanics in the white and black population counts, respectively, and the upper bound includes none ofthe white Hispanics and black Hispanics in the white and black population counts, re spectively. The lower-bound estimate for the Hispanic rate includes all His- panics of any race (white, black, or other race) in the population count, and the upper-bound estimate for the His panic rate includes only Hispanics with ‘racial background not classified as white or black in the population Descriptive statistics are presented as percentages or means and standard de- vlations, with skewed continuous data summarized as medians and interquar- lile ranges. The distributions of cat cegorical variables were compared us- ing the Fisher exact test, except for comparisons by cause, for which the X° statistic was used. Two groups of nor- mally distributed variables were com- pared using the f test, and analysis of variance was used to compare more than 2 groups. Skewed data were ana- lyzed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test and the Kruskal-Wallis test. The Man- (©2006 American Medical Assoc Downloaded From: on 10/22/2017 1, All rights reserved.

Cox regres sion modeling was used to find predic~ tors of death or transplantation in pa tients with pure DCM, excluding those with neuromuscular disease and in bor errors of metabolism, To control for the large number of subgroup analyses as well as multiple comparisons, only P-<.01 was eonsid- cred to be statistically significant. All analyses were conducted using SAS ver- sion 9.1 (SAS Institute Ine, Cary, NC) and S-Plus version 6.1 (Insightful Corp, Seattle, Wash). RESULTS Registry Characteristics A total of 1426 patients with pure DCM were enrolled as of February 25, 2003, including 491 (34%) enrolled retro- spectively and 935 (66%) enrolled pro- spectively. These patients resided in New England (n1=105 [14%]), the ce tral Southwest (n=397 [28%]), and the remainder of North America (n=834 [58%6]) at the time of diagnosis. Cohort Differences The retrospective and prospective co- hhortsare similar with respect to sex, age, region, cause, presence of CHF at di- agnosis, and outcome (FIGURE 1), Therefore, although there were statis- tical differences according to race (slightly more white children were rolled in the retrospective cohort: 61% [298/485] vs 54% [497/918] and rate of idiopathic disease (67% [33/491] vs 70% [710/034] for retrospective vs pro- spective), these 2 cohorts were com- bined for all other analyses.
