- Abstract
Aim: Congenital heart disease is the most common congenital anomaly in newborns. The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency, distribution and diagnostic clues of the patients diagnosed with congenital heart disease among newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit. Materials and Methods: 392 infants with congenital heart disease were evaluated retrospectively in our neonatal intensive care unit between January 2014 and September 2018. The reasons of evaluation, gender and cardiovascular system examination, electrocardiogram, echocardiographic examination were recorded. Results: 392 infants with congenital heart disease were included in the study. Of the patients, 201 were male (51.3%) and 191 were female (48.7%). The rate of congenital heart disease was found to be 11.7% in our center. The most common acyanotic heart disease was ventricular septal defect 31.3%, atrial septal defect 30.1%, and patent ductus arteriosis 21.6%. In cyanotic heart disease, this was tetralogy of fallot 3.8% and transposition of the great arteries 2.5%. The most common reason for evaluation by pediatric cardiologists was cyanosis in cyanotic heart disease, murmur and respiratory distress in acyanotic heart disease. Conclusion: Congenital heart diseases constitute approximately one third of all congenital anomalies, so it is an important health problem in the neonatal period. In these patients, early cardiological evaluation is very important for diagnosis and early treatment. The incidence of congenital heart disease among infants in the neonatal intensive care unit is higher than in all live births.
