Consensus?Based Development of a Pediatric Echocardiography Complexity Score: Design, Rationale, and Results of a Quality Improvement Collaborative

Journal of the American Heart Association

We report on the refinement and validation of a pediatric echocardiography complexity (PEC) score.Methods and ResultsThe American College of Cardiology Quality Network assembled a panel from 12 centers to refine a previously published PEC score developed in a single institution. Among the 174 echocardiograms analyzed, 68.9%
