ASSESSMENT OF PRENATAL AND POSTNATAL DIAGNOSIS RESULTS ON FETUSES WITH CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS
Overview
Abstract:
Background: Congenital heart defects are one of the most
common defects, accounting for 8-10/1000 live births.
Objectives: To evaluate the results of prenatal and postnatal
diagnosis of congenital heart defects at the National
Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology from 1/2019 to 1/2022.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study of 293
pregnant women with congenital heart defects. The fetuses were
taken for amniocentesis and karyotyping. The characteristics of
prenatal and postnatal congenital heart defects were evaluated by
ultrasound. Results: 293 fetuses with congenital heart defects
were found with a total of 355 characteristics of heart defects, of
which, ventricular septal defect accounted for a large proportion
at 52.7%. 86.0% of fetuses had only 1 heart defect, and 14.7% of
fetuses had a combination of 2-3 heart defects. 53.2% of fetuses
had simple congenital heart defects and 46.8% of fetuses had
complex defects. The number of chromosomally abnormal fetuses
was 105/293, 35.8%. 105 cases were recorded at postpartum, and
the detection rate according to prenatal diagnosis was 87/105,
82.8%; There were 18 cases under the other diagnosis, in which 8
cases had no defects and 10 cases had other types of congenital
heart defects. Conclusions: Echocardiography is an effective
prenatal diagnostic method in diagnosing fetal heart
characteristics accurately. It can be combined with chromosomal
diagnosis to give the best pregnancy advice to pregnant women.
