[Congenital heart defects as a cause of still birth and infant mortality]. 1985

R Busch, and M Voigt, and J Rothe

Among 4,686 still-births and children died from 0 to 1 a in the German Democratic Republic in 1979 there were 307 (6.6%) isolated congenital heart diseases. We only analyzed 294 died infants. The first 5 diagnoses were: Hypoplastic left heart (all infants died within the first 28 d) 9.9%, Ventricular septal defect 9.9%, Transposition of great vessels 8.8%, Coarctation aorta 7.1%, Common truncus arteriosus 5.8%. The most important results are an interesting frequency with advancing years of mothers (3.4% in 10,000 mothers of live-births aged 16 a and less to 20.6% at the age of 40 a and over (see Fig. 1), 13% premature children (under 37 weeks of gestation), 23% children under 2,500 g birth weight, 55% boys and 45% girls. 80% of the above 294 infants died within the first 3 months.
