The implications of an integrated management model of prenatal diagnosis/postnatal treatment for premature infants with critical congenital heart disease-a case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The high death rate and medical costs of critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) in preterm infants has resulted in significant burdens on both countries and individuals. It is unclear how this affects the mortality of the integrated management model of prenatal diagnosis/postnatal treatment. This study explored the effects of the delivery classification scale for fetal heart and postnatal infants' CCHD on prenatal and postnatal integrated treatment strategies to improve the effectiveness of disease management in CCHD.

Methods

This study was a case-control study, which retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 79 preterm infants (<37 weeks) who underwent prenatal diagnosis and postpartum treatment in Guangdong Provincial People' s Hospital (China) from June 2
