“…Prenatal diagnosis has been a major contributor to incidence increasing of findings. As well as other Brazilian articles 9 , most patients in this study were diagnosed on the first year of life, when first symptoms usually appeared, representing 73.5% of cases. 3.1% of patients were diagnosed during prenatal period.…”

“…No entanto, em pesquisa no MEDLINE e LILACS, foram encontrados poucos trabalhos realizados no Brasil nesta área, e a prevalência das cardiopatias congênitas entre nós ainda não é bem estabelecida [14][15][16] . Esse trabalho busca contribuir para esse conhecimento, verificando a prevalência das cardiopatias em um hospital público, universitário, em 29.770 partos consecutivos por um período de 13 anos.…”

Methods:A retrospective, database driven study, part of the LatinAmerican collaborative study of congenital malformations. Records were reviewed on all live born (LB) and stillborn (SB) infants with congenital heart diseases diagnosed by postnatal echocardiogram or by autopsy. Data on birth weight, sex, age and parity were collected for the LB and studied for associations. The statistical analysis employed Pearson's chisquare test and multinomial logistic regression.Results: During the period studied there were 29,770 births (28,915 LB and 855 SB). The prevalence of heart disease among the LB was 9.58:1,000 (277/28,915) while among SB the rate was 87.72:1,000 (75/ 855). Heart disease occurred isolated in 37.2% of LB cases and 18.7% of SB cases; was associated with anomalies of other organs and systems, but without a syndromic diagnosis in 31.4% of LB cases and 48.0% of SB cases; and in 23.1% of the LB cases and 32.0% of the SB cases the heart disease was a feature of a syndrome. Multivariate analysis demonstrated an association between heart disease and birth weight ≤ 2,500 g in all types of clinical presentation, between maternal age ≥ 35 years and heart disease in syndromic heart disease and between female sex and isolated heart disease. Conclusions:It was found a high prevalence, which is an alert to the medical significance of heart disease. There was association between birth weight ≤ 2,500 g and all forms of presentation, between increased maternal age and syndromic heart disease besides between female sex and isolated congenital heart disease.

“…With respect to postoperative diagnosis, the frequency of correction of the interventricular septum defect was 20%, slightly below the described in the literature [14]. However, the frequency of IAC (19%) and PDA (20%) were well above those described in the literature [15,16].…”

Objective: This study aims evaluate the treatment of congenital heart disease conducted from 2000 to 2009.Methods: The sample consisted of all patients undergoing surgical correction for congenital heart disease for ten years in Sergipe, Brazil. The patients were operated in three hospitals located in the city of Aracaju, capital of the state of Sergipe (Brazil). The study was divided into two periods defined by the start date of centralization of surgery. The variables collected were: age, sex, postoperative diagnosis, destination, type of surgery and hospital where the procedure was performed and the classification RACHS -1.Results: In the period I, the estimate deficit of surgery was 69% decrease occurring in the period II to 55.3%. The postoperative diagnosis was more frequent closure of the interventricular communication (20.5%), closure of patent ductus arteriosus (20.2%) and atrial septal defect (19%). There was a statistically significant correlation between the expected mortality RACHS-1 and observed in the sample. The evaluation of RACHS-1 as a predictor of hospital mortality by ROC curve showed area of 0.860 95% CI 0.818 to 0.902 with P <0.0001. Conclusion:The results of this study indicate that the centralization and organization of existing resources are needed to improve the performance of surgical correction of congenital heart diseases.
