Introduction: Congenital cardiovascular anomalies refer to anatomic malformation of the heart and great vessels occurring during the intrauterine developmental process. Aim: To determine the pattern of distribution of cardiovascular anomalies through autopsy and to find an association between maternal factors and congenital anomalies, and also an association between autopsy and ultrasound findings. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study, which consisted of 50 stillborn foetuses. The foetuses were obtained from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at a JSS Medical College and Hospital, Mysuru, Karnataka, India. The foetus was fixed in 10% formalin and the autopsies were carried out as per standard foetal autopsy protocol. The cardiovascular anomalies were studied in detail. Data collected were entered in MS Excel 2010 and analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22 to obtain relevant statistics. Descriptive measures like percentages were calculated and the distribution of birth weight, gestational age, maternal age, gravida of the mother, and socioeconomic status of parents among the stillborn foetuses were studied. Fisher’s-exact test was done to find out the association between maternal diabetes and cardiovascular anomalies. The results were interpreted as statistically significant at p |
