About this trial
Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) often experience growth problems. This study aims to assess and compare the growth (weight, height, head circumference) of infants and children with CHD against the expected growth standards for healthy children. This is a retrospective study that will review the medical records of children aged 1 month to 2 years who were diagnosed with CHD at Assiut University Children Hospital. The study will help understand how different types of CHD affect a child's growth, which is important for improving their nutritional care and overall management.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Children aged 1 month to 2 years.
Diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD) confirmed by echocardiography.
Availability of anthropometric data in the medical record.
Disqualifiers
Presence of a known genetic syndrome or major extracardiac anomalies.
Pre-existing endocrine or metabolic disorder affecting growth.
Preterm birth (gestational age <37 weeks).
Previous surgical/interventional procedure for CHD.
Trial population
The study population consists of infants and young children (aged 1 month to 2 years) who were diagnosed with congenital heart disease (CHD) by echocardiography and were followed at the Pediatric Cardiology Unit of Assiut University Children Hospital. This is a retrospective cohort; participants are identified through a review of existing hospital medical records. The population includes patients with various types of CHD (both cyanotic and acyanotic) who have not yet undergone corrective cardiac surgery or intervention.
