Three studies did not find differences in self-reports of children with operated heart defects compared to a reference group, thus contrasting proxy reports [ 18, 23, 34].
Proxy-reports by teachers did not reveal any significant differences in behavior between children with operated heart defects and controls [ 21, 22] except for one study, which reported more behavioral difficulties in operated children compared to controls [ 33].
Finally, the parents of children with operated heart defects themselves may play an important role with regard to the child's long-term psychological adjustment [ 23, 31] and quality of life [ 43, 45, 46].
Reliability is the probability that a given system will operate without defects, under established operational conditions and environmental conditions for which it has been designed.
35 year old patient with Ebstein anomaly and operated atrial septal defect (ASD) was referred to our hospital due to VDD pacemaker lead dysfunction.
The Pelton runner at KHP had operated without any major defects for 22,000 h before repair.
There were only 2 patients without any bone defects when operated with a primary stemmed TKA.
At follow-up, 4 of the 42 patients were found to have a full-thickness cuff defect in the operated shoulder, and 9 had a partial-thickness defect.
We operate a "zero defects" total quality management (TQM) process throughout the team, enabling full traceability from raw materials through to obsolescence using our ERP.
Another limitation of this study is the lack of a control group of patients with similar ages and acetabular defects who were operated on with other techniques.
