Profile of Acyanotic Congenital Heart Defect in Children at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya Period of January – December 2016

Abstract

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%).

Changes in Nutritional Status of Children Under Five with Acyanotic Congenital Heart Disease Left to Right Shunt Type After Defect Closure by Catheterization

“…This study was an analytical observational study with a retrospective cohort method using medical record data [1] involving pediatric patients less than 5 shunts, for example VSD, ASD, and PDA. [3] The study population was pediatric patients less…”

“…Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a morphological and physiological disorder of the cardiovascular system, a disorder resulting from the formation and development of the heart or blood vessels from intra uterine until birth [1][2][3] . The rate of occurrence of CHD throughout the world is around 1.2 million out of 134 million live births per year or around 6 -10 out of 1,000 live births [2,4,5] .…”

“…The cause of CHD is still unclear, but it is most likely multifactorial (genetics, exposure to substances, etc.) [3,6] . The classification of CHD is generally divided into 2, namely acyanotic (not blue) and cyanotic (blue) [2,3,5,7,8] .…”

The Use of STRONGkids, Total Lymphocyte Count, and Serum Albumin to Identify the Risk of Hospital Malnutrition in Children

“…There are several interventions to prevent the condition, but it is unclear how well they are adopted by both malnourished and well-nourished children and their mothers, and to what extent socioeconomic factors have impacts (Tette et al 2015). It is prevalent in pediatric patients with diarrhea and acyanotic congenital heart defect (Fedora et al 2019, Jordan et al 2020. Therefore, identifying malnourished patients, particularly in children, through hospital malnutrition risk assessment is important.…”
