Investigating the Risk Factors of Congenital Heart Diseases in Newborns Admitted to Amir al-Momenin Hospital in Semnan from 2020-2021. (English)

Background and Objectives Congenital heart defects refer to conditions that affect the structure and function of a newborn’s heart. The present study aimed to assess the prevalence and risk factors of congenital heart diseases in hospitalized neonates who underwent echocardiography in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Amir alMomenin Hospital in Semnan. Subjects and Methods This study reviewed 300 medical records of hospitalized neonates who underwent echocardiography in the NICU of Amir al-Momenin Hospital in Semnan from 2020-2021. The overall prevalence of congenital heart diseases and their types (atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) were determined. Moreover, the association between study variables (gender and weight of neonates, gestational age, maternal age, consanguinity, medication use during pregnancy, as well as the history of heart disease and gestational diabetes) and congenital heart diseases was evaluated. Results The results demonstrated that out of 300 hospitalized neonates who underwent echocardiography, 132 (44%) cases were diagnosed with congenital heart disease. Moreover, PDA and VSD were the most common types of congenital heart diseases, with prevalence rates of 8.56% and 5.23%, respectively. Conclusion As evidenced by the obtained results, congenital heart disease was not correlated with gestational diabetes, hypertension, hypothyroidism, medication use during pregnancy, family history of heart disease, consanguinity, and the gender of neonates. Nevertheless, the type of congenital heart disease showed a significant association with gestational age and weight of neonates, with an increase in gestational age and weight of neonates leading to a decrease in the prevalence of congenital heart diseases.
