“…Many heart diseases, and the syndromes of which they are part, are incompatible with extrauterine life, what must be taken into account when the immediate care needed by those affected is considered. 19,20 Despite this, we found few studies containing data from Brazil, [14][15][16] and none of them allow for comparisons with this study due to period of diagnosis and methodologies used.…”

“…Nevertheless, a search of the databases MEDLINE and LILACS returned few studies on the subject that had been undertaken in Brazil, and so the prevalence of congenital heart disease among our patients has not yet been well established. [14][15][16] This study aims to contribute to that knowledge, investigating the prevalence of heart disease at a public university hospital in 29,770 consecutive deliveries over a 13-year period.…”

Objective: To estimate the prevalence rate and study the clinical presentation and associated factors of congenital heart diseases diagnosed at birth between August 1990 and December 2003, at the Maternity Unit of the Hospital das Clínicas, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods:A retrospective, database driven study, part of the Latin-American 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 chi-square 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.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2008;84(1):83-90: Congenital heart disease, prevalence, abnormalities, etiology.

“…When compared to studies in Londrina (State of Paraná, Brazil) 3 , although our institution apparently is characterized as a center of reference of similar complexityreceiving many patients from the state or other states -, there is a higher prevalence of severe heart diseases.…”

“…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.…”
