[Survey and analysis on correlative factors with CHD in 12,468 pupils in Yimeng mountain area]
1Linyi District Hygiene and Epidemic Prevention Station, Shandong Province.
Insights
Congenital heart disease (CHD) affects 3.05% of pupils, with ventricular septal defect (VSD) being most common. Maternal age over 35, chemical work, early pregnancy colds, and birth season are key risk factors.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Pediatrics
- Public Health
Context:
- Congenital heart diseases (CHD) represent a significant public health concern.
- A study surveyed 12,468 pupils in the Yimeng mountain area to assess CHD prevalence and risk factors.
- The observed CHD morbidity rate was 3.05%, exceeding that of other heart diseases.
Purpose:
- To identify and analyze risk factors associated with congenital heart diseases (CHD) in a large cohort of pupils.
- To investigate the prevalence and types of CHD, focusing on ventricular septal defect (VSD).
- To compare CHD frequency between urban and rural pupil populations.
Summary:
- Analysis of 38 CHD cases revealed significant correlations with maternal age (≥35 years), maternal occupation (chemical worker), and early pregnancy history (coryza within 3 months).
- The season of birth (August, September) and a family history of malformations were also identified as notable risk factors.
- Ventricular septal defect (VSD) was the most frequent type of CHD observed in the study population.
Impact:
- Findings provide crucial insights into preventable risk factors for CHD.
- This research can inform public health initiatives and clinical guidance for expectant mothers.
- Understanding these correlations aids in targeted screening and early intervention strategies for congenital heart defects.
Abstract:
The risk factors correlated with congenital heart diseases (CHD) in 12,468 pupils in Yimeng mountain area were surveyed and analysed. The morbidity rate of CHD was 3.05%, which was higher than those of other heart diseases; ventricular septal defect (VSD) was more frequent than other types of CHD. The frequency in pupils in city is higher than in rural areas. In 38 cases with CHD, through analysis (1:1) on the risk of single factor and the progressive regression analysis on compound factors, the results showed that the age of pregnant women (> or = 35 years), the job of mother (chemical worker), the history of coryza in pregnancy (within 3 months), the season of birth (August, September), and the family history of malformation are notably correlated with CHD.
