Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a non-physiologic communication between the two atria, allowing the shunt between systemic and pulmonary circulation. Data about ASD prevalence among congenital heart disease patients (CHD) in Vietnam are still scarce. We aim to assess the trends in the prevalence of ASD patients and associated factors among CHD patients. This was a cross-sectional study, with data collected from medical records from 1220 CHD patients in Da Nang hospital from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2015. Descriptive statistics were used to estimate the prevalence of ASD among CHD patients. Comparative statistical methods were used to compare groups and logistic regression to access associated factors with ASD. The overall prevalence of ASD among CHD patients was 18.5% between 2010 and 2015. The prevalence varied between periods, ranging between 15% and 31.9% during the period. The prevalence of ASD women among CHD (25.9%) was significantly higher than for men (16.0%). The prevalence of ASD increased gradually when the age group increased. The factors associated with increased ASD prevalence were being a female and being in an older age group. The findings suggest that targeted policy should provide more-specific health-care services of ASD for women and older patients.

<p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> Congenital heart disease (CHD) refers to complex abnormalities that affect the structure or function of the heart due to embryonic defects. There is little accurate statistical data about prevalence, incidence and frequency in many developing countries such as Iran. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of CHD in patients who were referred to the Department of Pediatric Cardiology in a large single-center in Southwestern of Iran.</p><p><strong>METHODS:</strong> This is a retrospective, cross-sectional study. Patients with various cardiac malformations were each investigated separately. A check list was used to collect information. It was comprised of three parts; demographic characteristics, Patient’s birth details and maternal data.</p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> The frequency of ventricular septal defect (VSD), atrial septal defect (ASD) and tetralogy of fallot (TOF) were 125 (28.47%), 48 (10.93%) and 41(9.3%) respectively. Family history was reported in 26(11.1%) cases. Down syndrome, skeletal anomaly and hematological anomaly were the most common co-anomalies. Parental consanguinity was 48.7%.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSIONS:</strong> Present study showed that VSD was the most common CHD subtype followed by family history, familial marriage, extra cardiac anomalies (ECAs), birth weight, and maternal concomitant disease. But there was a controversial relationship between birth order and drug history in CHD.</p>

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the frequent congenital health issues in neonates. Early diagnosis is a key factor to combat this problem. This study aims to assess the frequency and common types of CHD among neonates presenting to a tertiary care hospital, Karachi. Patients and methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of National Institute of Child Health (NICH), Karachi from March to September 2017. All neonates of gestational age ≥37 weeks with suspected CHD (presence of blue-tinged skin, i.e. cyanosis on routine clinical examination) were included. Information regarding presence of CHD and its types were collected along with the demographic characteristics and history of the patients. Results: Of 134, frequency of CHD was observed in 126 (94%) patients. Out of these 126 CHD patients, Ventricular septal defect (VSD) was observed in 49 (38.9%), patent ductal arteriosus (PDA) in 29 (23%), atrial septal defect (ASD) was observed in 19 (15.1%), Transposition of great arteries (TGA) in 18 (14.3%), and tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) in 14 (11.1%) patients. A significant association of VSD was observed with neonatal age (p = <0.001), ASD with neonatal age (p = 0.037) and maternal age (p = 0.025), while TGA was found significantly associated with neonatal age (p<0.001). Conclusion: CHD was observed in majority of the suspected patients with VSD as commonest type of congenital heart diseases among neonates.

Aims:: Congenital heart disease is among the most common congenital anomalies in pediatrics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of congenital heart disease in children in Khorramabad, Iran. Methods:: This is a descriptive-cross sectional study where all the children admitted to Shahid Madani Hospital who were diagnosed with congenital heart disease by echocardiography were enrolled. Patient information was collected by means of a questionnaire. Of 1600 children who underwent cardiac counseling, 9.75% presented congenital heart disease. These were most prevalent among the children of 0-28 days of the age (14.7%) and least in children aged 1 month-1year. According to this study, atrial (20.3%) and ventricular septal defect (10.5%) were the most common heart defects, respectively. Among signs and symptoms of cardiac disease, 49.1% of children had cyanosis, 89.7% with increased CT (cardiothoracic)-ratio, and 82.7% of had heart murmur. Congenital heart disease was more prevalent in male infants (58%) and 6.6% patients had heart failure and 1.4% had other congenital conditions, such as Down syndrome. Results:: According to our findings, atrial and ventricular septal defects are the most common congenital heart anomalies, respectively, in pediatric patients in Khorramabad.

Background: There are several risk factors and diseases related with the acute kidney injury among neonates. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to find out the risk factors and primary disease responsible for acute kidney injury among neonates. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Paediatric Nephrology at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib University, Dhaka, Bangladesh from May 2018 to July 2019 for a period of one year. Patients with the age group of less than 1 months who were at risk of AKI, and admitted in the inpatient department of Pediatrics and allied at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib University, Dhaka, Bangladesh in both sexes were selected as study population. To detect AKI, serum creatinine was measured at 0 h (baseline), 48 h and 5th day respectively. Result: A total number of 52 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study. Among them 10 cases were in neonatal age group. The mean age was 10.8±5.4 days with female predominance. The risk factors of AKI in neonate was only pre-renal; mostly due to hypovolemia which was 3(60.0%) cases followed by sepsis and asphyxia which were 1(20.0%) case in each. The most patients had sepsis which was 4(40.0%) cases followed by congenital heart disease which was 2(20.0%) cases; one presented with heart failure and another one had cyanotic congenital heart disease. Conclusion: In conclusion hypovolemia, sepsis and asphyxia are the most common risk factors of acute kidney injury among the neonates.

ABSTRACT Infants and children with congenital heart disease exhibit a range of delays in weight gain and growth. In some instances, the delay can be relatively mild, whereas in other cases, cause the failure to thrive. OBJECTIVES To determine the nutritional status and associated factors of pediatric patients with congenital heart disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross sectional analytical study was done over a period of 6months (Feb to Jul 2020). A total of 228 subjects with congenital heart disease that come to the cardiac center during the study period where included until the calculated sample size was attained. Data was collected from patient card and care givers of the children included in the study after obtaining their informed consent using data inquiry sheet. RESULTS A total of 228 children from age 3month to 17yrs. Most of the subjects had acyanotic heart disease accounting for 87.7%. The overall prevalence of wasting, underweight and stunting were 41.3%, 49.1% and 43% respectively. Among this children with congenital heart disease those with PAH were found more likely have wasting compared to those without PAH with an odds of 1.9 (95% CI: 1.0-3.4) and also greater chance of being stunted with an odds of 1.9 (95% CI: 1.0-3.4). children above 5years of age were 2.3 times more likely to be underweight. CONCLUSION Malnutrition is a major problem of patients with CHD. Pulmonary hypertension and older age are associated with increased risk of undernutrition. KEYWORDS: Acyanotic, cyanotic, Pulmonary hypertension, underweight, wasting and stunting.

Background: The onset of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important prognostic factor in young adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). Although it is likely that CKD is manifest early in CHD patients, the prevalence among adolescents is still unknown. The National Kidney Foundation’s Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines 2012 recommend new equations for the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and highlight the importance of albuminuria for CKD screening. The objective of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of CKD in CHD adolescents. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study included 115 patients aged 10–18 years attending the cardiologic outpatient clinic at our institution as a follow-up after cardiac surgery in infancy related to various CHDs. CKD assessment used the CKD criteria 2012, including eGFR equations based on serum creatinine and cystatin C, and measurement of albuminuria. Results: No patient had an eGFR <60 mL min–1 1.73 m–2. However, 28.7% of all patients (95% CI 20.7–37.9) had eGFRbetween 60 and 89 mL min–1 1.73 m–2 when estimated by the bedside Schwartz creatinine-based equation,and 17.4% (95% CI 11.2–24.1) had eGFRbetween 60 and 89 mL min–1 1.73 m–2 when estimated by the Zappitelli equation, combining creatinine and cystatin C. Of all patients, 20.0% (95% CI 12.1–26.7) had orthostatic proteinuria, and none had persistent albuminuria. Conclusions: There was no evidence of CKD in the present population aged 10–18 years. The significance of an eGFR between 60 and 90 mL min–1 1.73 m–2 is not concordant for this age range and requires further investigations.
