Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital anomaly in newborns. It has already been
recognized as one of the important cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity.
Aim: Aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence and pattern of CHD among newborns of Central India.
Materials &Methods: This was a prospective hospital-based study conducted in the Neonatology Unit of Pediatric Department
at Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital (AVBRH), Sawangi, Wardha, from April 2012 to May 2014. Measurements of oxygen
saturation (SpO2) were performed on the all four limb by pulse oximeter on day 1 life of all newborns. All suspected neonates
were investigated with blood pressure, roentgenograms, electrocardiograms, and echocardiography and were followed up for
a period of 3 months.
Results: During the study period, there were 6695 live born neonates at AVBR Hospital. The incidence of CHD observed was
20.16 per thousand live births. Atrial Septal Defect was the commonest lesion found in 34.07% cases, ventricular septal defect
in 27.40%, patent ductus arteriosus in 21.48%. The commonest cyanotic CHD detected was transposition of great arteries in
3.70%. Some associated non-cardiac anomalies like Down’s syndrome, polydactyl, cleft palate and cataract were found.
Conclusion: The incidence of CHD among live births in Central India is greater than reported in the studies from other part
of countries. ASD was the commonest CHD in this study.
