Congenital heart disease in the first month of life. 1979

H B Laursen, and P Lomholt

During the years 1963--73, 276 children with congenital heart disease were admitted to this hospital during their first month of life. Ventricular septal defect was the most common cardiac anomaly and this lesion, together with transposition of the great arteries, comprised 35% of all cardiovascular malformations. Extracardiac malformations were found in 86 patients. The cumulative survival rate for all patients was 66% in the first month of life and 33% in the first year. Forty-three patients were operated upon, but it is estimated from necropsy reports and available clinical data that another 74 patients, who died without operation, would have been suitable candidates for total corrective surgery.
