Symptoms of anxiety and depression by subgroups in adults with congenital heart disease. Anxiety was defined as HADS-A > 10. Depression was defined as HADS-D > 10. The prevalence of anxiety in patients with an unemployed status/unstable employment was higher than in those with an employed status (34.6%, n = 9 vs 14.1%, n = 11, p = 0.022; using Chi-square test; respectively). The prevalence of depression in patients with an unemployed status/unstable employment was higher than in those with an employed status (29.6%, n = 8 vs 5.1%, n = 4, p = 0.002; using the Fisher’s exact test; respectively). The prevalence of anxiety in patients who had complex CHD/PAH is higher than in those with simple CHD (40%, n = 6 vs 15.2%, n = 14, p = 0.022; using Chi-square test; respectively). The prevalence of depression of patients aged > 30 years is higher than that of patients aged ≤ 30 years (17.1%, n = 12 vs 0%, n = 0, p = 0.004; using Fisher’s exact test; respectively). The prevalence of depression in patients with an educational level of high school and below was higher than in those with an educational level of high school and above (22.4%, n = 11 vs 1.8%, n = 1, p = 0.001; using Fisher’s exact test; respectively). CHD: Congenital heart disease; HADS-A: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety subscale; HADS-D: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Depression subscale; PAH: Pulmonary artery hypertension
