“… 9 The burden of CHDs is widespread, and each year, at least 1.5 million children are born with CHDs, approximately 90% of these children do not have adequate access to an essential diagnosis or appropriate management, both of which could be life-saving measures for these children. 10 , 11 Ongoing research on CHD has played a vital role in the diagnosis, management, and prevention of the condition. Such studies have also provided insight into gene-specific diagnosis, prognosis, and risks of recurrence.…”

Objectives: To characterize the pattern of congenital heart diseases (CHDs) in Madinah, Saudi Arabia. Methods: We retrospectively collected and analyzed the demographic and diagnostic details of all patients with CHDs referred at Madinah Cardiac Center (MCC) over a period of 3 years from January 2017 to December 2019. Results: During the study period, 1,127 patients with CHDs were identified. The male to female ratio was 1.1:1, with a mean age of 8.4±2.4 years. The acyanotic CHDs were the predominant lesions, accounting for 84.8% of all cases, while the cyanotic types accounted for 13%. Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), ventricular Original Article septal defects (VSD), atrial septal defects (ASD), coarctation of the aorta (CoA), and atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) were the most common acyanotic CHDs and represented 27.9%, 24.8%, 18.9%, 6.4%, and 4.4% of the total cases, respectively. Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) (8.7%), followed by transposition of the great arteries (TGA) (1.7%) and truncus arteriosus (1.1%), were the most common cyanotic CHDs. There was a male predominance of VSD, ToF, CoA, TGA, and truncus arteriosus. In contrast, PDA, ASD, and AVSD were more common in females. Conclusion: The pattern of CHDs observed in our study and age at which the diagnosis of CHDs was made were different from the other national and international studies, which points to a diagnostic issue along with problems of awareness on the part of the general population.

Background: Rubella is an acute viral disease that often attacks vulnerable children and young adults throughout the world. Even though it only causes mild clinical illness, concern in the health world arises from its teratogenic potential resulting in congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). The most common abnormalities of CRS are hearing loss or deafness, eye defects and congenital heart defects. Purpose: To determine the profiles of age and sex in congenital rubella syndrome patients with congenital heart disease in Dr Soetomo Regional Public Hospital for the period of 2016-2018. Methods: This type of research was a descriptive study by collecting data on the age and sex in congenital rubella syndrome patients with congenital heart disease in Dr Soetomo Regional Public Hospital retrospectively through medical records of patients for the period of 2016-2018. Results: The most age group of congenital rubella syndrome patients with congenital heart disease in Dr Soetomo Regional Public Hospital for the period of 2016-2018 was the toddler (0-

Introduction: Acyanotic congenital heart defect is a congenital structural abnormality arising from incomplete formation of the heart or major blood vessels which generally do not interfere with the amount of oxygen or blood that reaches the body's tissues so that cyanosis are rarely found in these patients. This research aims to evaluate the profile of acyanotic congenital heart defect patients in Paediatric Cardiology Outpatient Clinic Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya period of January – December 2016 based on 4 variables; gender, age, nutritional status, type of congenital heart disease and symptoms. Until 2017, the profile of acyanotic congenital heart defect in children in Outpatient Unit of Paediatrics Department Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya has not been much researched, so this research is expected to be used as learning reference for practitioners and other readers, and also as a reference in developing management strategies for children with acyanotic congenital heart defect in the future. Methods: This was a descriptive non-experimental study using cross-sectional design and was performed by evaluating medical record of acyanotic congenital heart defect patients in Department of Paediatrics Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya period of January – December 2016 and analysed using Microsoft Excel. Results: The results of this study revealed that majority of acyanotic congenital heart defect patients were female (53.85%) with age range between 0 – <5 years old. Atrial septal defect (ASD) was the most common type of acyanotic congenital heart defect (49.8%), with sign and symptom that is commonly found in patients were failure to thrive (61.94%). Majority of patients also suffered from growth disruption with most of patients aged 0 – <5 years old are severely underweight (42.46%) and most of patients aged 5 – 18 years old are having malnutrition (38.23%).
