We aimed to determine whether in children with dilated cardiomyopathy repeated measurement of known risk factors for death or heart transplantation (HTx) during disease progression can identify children at the highest risk for adverse outcome. Of 137 children we included in a prospective cohort, 36 (26%) reached the study endpoint (SE all-cause death or HTx), 15 (11%) died at a median of 0.09years [inter-quartile range (IQR) 0.03-0.7] after diagnosis, and 21 (15%) underwent HTx at a median of 2.9years [IQR 0.8-6.1] after diagnosis.
