Resumen
IBANEZ-CORREA, Lina M.; VICTORIA, Salomé y HURTADO-VILLA, Paula. Prevalence of congenital heart disease in a cohort of 54,193 births between 2011-2017. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2021, vol.28, n.1, pp.53-59. Epub 19-Mar-2021. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.24875/rccar.m21000009.
Objective:
To describe the prevalence of congenital heart disease in two hospitals of Cali in between 2011 and 2017.
Method:
A retrospective study of a cohort of 54,193 births was carried out in two hospitals of Cali, which included newborns from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2017, captured through the surveillance program and monitoring of birth defects. Initially, a descriptive analysis of patients with congenital heart disease was performed, and the association of some variables with a chi-square (C2) with a p-value significance <0.05.
Results:
The prevalence in this cohort was 2.42 x 1,000 births. Of the 131 patients with congenital heart disease, 73 (55.73%) were male; 91 (69.47%) were born with adequate weight for gestational age and 31 (23.66%) were preterm. Of the mothers, 30.53% were between 25 and 29 years old and 42% were primigravid. Regarding CC, the most frequent was interventricular communication with 52 (32.30%) cases; 105 (80.15%) had only one congenital heart disease and 62 (47.33%) had isolated heart disease. The variables of weight for gestational age, maternal age and gestational age, showed a statistically significant association.
Conclusions:
Congenital cardiopathy is of great interest in public health, given their morbi-mortality and as a cause of death in children under 1 year old in Colombia. Therefore, we must continue to work on strategies that improve surveillance, as well as prenatal diagnosis, treatment and the level of complexity appropriate to each patient.
