Background: Identification of congenital heart disease (CHD) is increasing, may be due to advancement of diagnostic technology and availability of trained man power. Several studies have been conducted in Bangladesh to identify the prevalence and pattern of CHD but paucity of data regarding etiology and outcome. Objective: The aim of this study is to identify the frequency and risk factors of so that preventive measures can be taken. Methods: This retrospective case control study was conducted in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), BSMMU, Dhaka from January 2021 to June 2022. All admitted neonates in NICU with the diagnosis of CHD were considered as cases. Twice number of newborn having gestational age and birth weight matched neonates diagnosed other than CHD in NICU were considered as control. Data were extracted from the Medical records of patient files and computer electronic data records of “Newborn Birth Defect (NBBD) surveillance in Bangladesh.” The level of significance was set at 5% (P <0.05). Result: Total 914 patient were admitted during the study period among them 119 patient were CHD (frequency rate 13%). Mean birth weight and gestational age of CHD group were 2376±783.85g & 35.80±3.26 weeks respectively. About 85.7% had acyanotic CHD, among them most prevalent were atrial septal defect (42%) then patent ductus arteriosus (11.8%). Cyanotic CHD were 17 (14.3%). Maternal DM significantly increase the risk of developing CHD, Odd’s ratio 1.971 (CI: 1.182 - 3.285). Death were more in CHD group (34.5%) than control group (20.4%), p values = 0.005. Conclusion: Frequency (13%) of congenital heart disease was high. Maternal diabetes mellitus increases the risk of developing CHD of their baby. Death were more among babies with CHD.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) in low‐and‐middle income countries (LMIC) is often characterized by late presentation resulting from inadequate screening and healthcare access in these regions. Accurate estimates of the burden of CHD among school children are often lacking. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and distribution of CHD among school children in two communities (urban and semi‐urban) in south western Nigeria. Using clinical assessment and portable echocardiography, 4107 school children aged 5 years to 16 years in Lagos, Nigeria, were selected using a multistage sampling procedure and screened for CHD. Diagnosis of CHD was made after echocardiography. Children identified with CHD were referred to a tertiary hospital for appropriate cardiac care. The 4,107 children screened had a mean age of 11.3 ± 2.7 years and 53.7% were females. Twenty seven children had echocardiography‐confirmed CHD, representing a prevalence of CHD among school children in Lagos, Nigeria of 6.6 per 1000 children. Acyanotic CHD constituted 96.3% of detected cases. Two children diagnosed with CHD (Tetralogy of Fallot and severe pulmonary valve stenosis respectively) had successful intervention. The prevalence of previously undiagnosed CHD among school children in Lagos Nigeria is substantial and highlights gaps in the health care system and school health programs. Echocardiographic screening of school children provides an opportunity for missed early diagnosis and treatment of CHD and reduces the prevalence of first‐diagnosed CHD in adulthood. Therefore, focused clinical examination of school children followed by echocardiography is a strategy that could bridge this diagnostic and treatment gap in CHD.

Background: Congenital heart diseases are recognized as public health concerns worldwide and Nepal is no exception. This study aims to study congenital heart disease in Nepal on grounds of burden, commonest type, common presentations, and associated noncardiac anomalies so that its spectrum can be known for prompt diagnosis and adoption of screening protocols.Methods: Relevant articles were searched in electronic databases using appropriate search terms and Boolean operators. Data were extracted in Excel and analyzed in Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software. The proportion was used as an effect measure and a fixed or random-effect model was used as per the heterogeneity.Forest plots were used to give visual feedback.Results: A total of nine studies were included in the qualitative and quantitative synthesis after a rigorous screening of imported studies. The prevalence of congenital heart disease was 0.7% (Proportion: 0.007; CI: 0.001-0.035; I 2 : 99.263%). The burden of atrial septal defect was 32.1%, ventricular septal defect was 31.1%, patent ductus arteriosus was 12.6% and Tetralogy of Fallot was 7.3%.The most common presentations were respiratory tract infection (54.7%), developmental delay (49.8%), difficulty in breathing (44.5%), failure to thrive (17.1%), and cyanosis (15.9%). Conclusions:The prevalence of congenital heart disease in Nepal was 0.7% and the frequency of male patients was higher. The atrial septal defect was the commonest on the whole, while, Tetralogy of Fallot was the commonest among cyanotic variety. Respiratory tract infection was frequently seen at presentation and the most commonly associated noncardiac anomaly was the cleft palate.
