Perfusion Index and Pulse Oximetry Screening for Congenital Heart Defects
2017
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of combined pulse oximetry (POX) and perfusion index (PI) neonatal screening for severe congenital heart defects (sCHD) and assess different impacts of screening in tertiary and nontertiary hospitals. Study design A multicenter, prospective study in 10 tertiary and 6 nontertiary maternity hospitals. A total of 42 169 asymptomatic newborns from among 50 244 neonates were screened; exclusion criteria were antenatal sCHD diagnosis, postnatal clinically suspected sCHD, and neonatal intensive care unit admission. Eligible infants underwent pre- and postductal POX and PI screening after routine discharge examination. Targeted sCHD were anatomically defined. Posi…
Anomalías congénitas cardíacas en la Comunitat Valenciana 2007-2014, el registro poblacional de anomalías congénitas
2020
Resumen: Introducción: Las anomalías congénitas cardíacas (ACC) son el tipo de anomalías congénitas (AC) mayores de más prevalencia y gravedad. El objetivo fue determinar la frecuencia y distribución de las ACC en la Comunitat Valenciana desde 2007 hasta 2014, describiendo las características comunes de los pacientes y sus madres. Material y Métodos: Se seleccionaron del Registro poblacional de AC de la Comunitat Valenciana los pacientes con ACC nacidos vivos, nacidos muertos e interrupciones voluntarias del embarazo entre 2007-2014 (códigos Q20-Q26 de la Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades 10.ª Revisión, Asociación Pediátrica Británica). Se calculó la prevalencia por 10.000 nacidos…
Trends in congenital anomalies in Europe from 1980 to 2012
2018
Background Surveillance of congenital anomalies is important to identify potential teratogens. Methods This study analysed the prevalence of 61 congenital anomaly subgroups (excluding chromosomal) in 25 population-based EUROCAT registries (1980–2012). Live births, fetal deaths and terminations of pregnancy for fetal anomaly were analysed with multilevel random-effects Poisson regression models. Results Seventeen anomaly subgroups had statistically significant trends from 2003±2012; 12 increasing and 5 decreasing. Conclusions The annual increasing prevalence of severe congenital heart defects, single ventricle, atrioventricular septal defects and tetralogy of Fallot of 1.4% (95% CI: 0.7% to …
