Effectiveness of newborn pulse oximetry screening for the identification of critical congenital heart disease in a tertiary care hospital in Sri Lanka

Abstract: Background: Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) constitutes a spectrum of different heart anomalies needing intervention early in life for survival. Pulse oximetry screening (POS) claims to have a sensitivity of 60%, specificity of 99.95%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 75% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 99.98% in detecting CCHD.Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of POS in identifying CCHD in a tertiary care neonatal unit in Sri Lanka.Method: A prospective descriptive study was carried … Show more

“…Incidence of mortality among neonates with congenital heart disease was 11.9 (95% CI; -0.009-0.015) per 1000 persons of observation which was in line with a study conducted, USA neonatal mortality (0.37/1000%) [48], in gingdao china (9.38/1000%), [49],south china was approximately 11.1 per 1,000 live births [50] and Sri lanka 1.56/1000 live birth [51], The possible reason could be due to the study were conducted at the hospital level, in which different complicated neonatal cases can be referred from different corners of the region, so due to a high number of complicated cases the mortality could be increased.…”

“…The prevalence of CCHD in our study was 6 of 1000 live births, with positive CCHD screens occurring in 8/1452 (0.6%) of newborns. This was higher than previously reported in Sri Lanka 0.16% (14/8718), [ 13 ], India 0.16% (3/1855) [ 12 ], Turkey 0.12% (12/10,200) [ 18 ], Morocco 0.06% (5/8013) [ 19 ], the Netherlands 0.02% (5/23,959) [ 20 ], New Zealand 0.02% (3/16,644) [ 21 ], South Africa 0.01% (1/1001) [ 11 ] and the United States (US) 0.01% (1/6745) [ 16 ].…”

“…Furthermore, unnecessary costs related to complications due to late diagnosis of CCHD can be avoided [ 10 ]. Studies on the feasibility of pulse oximetry screening to detect CCHD have been conducted in low- and middle-income country setting including South Africa [ 11 ], India [ 12 ], Sri Lanka [ 13 ] and Brazil [ 14 ]. Despite the importance shown in the immediate detection of CCHD, no screening program has been implemented in Indonesia, contributing to the often presentation of late and even terminal cases at tertiary hospitals.…”

“…Subsequently, subgroup analyses were carried out for sensitivity and specificity, according to the time of birth and the first POT measurement between 24 and 48 hours (Figures S1 and S2). In this meta-analysis, 20 studies were included (21)(22)(23)(24)27,28,(31)(32)(33)(35)(36)(37)(38)(40)(41)(42)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48) with a sample of 203,992 participants. An increase in sensitivity to 67% (95% CI: 62% to 72%) and specificity to 97% (95% CI: 97% to 97) was demonstrated.…”

“…A third analysis including studies that were carried out with protocols that contained retests after the first measurement, comprising 13 studies (21,24,27,28,31,32,34,35,37,38,42,44,45) and a sample of 124,469 participants was also developed (Figures S3 and S4). In this analysis, there was a similar increase in sensitivity to 91% (95% CI: 85% to 95%) and specificity to 100% (95% CI: 100% to 100%).…”
