| Popis: | 0 B S E R V A T I 0 N S in the Harriet Lane Home Cardiac Clinic led us to believe that the birth weight of infants with complete transposition of the great vessels tended to be higher than the average birth rate of normal infants. A survey of the literature revealed no study of the birth weight of infants with congenital malformations of the heart. Since it has been shown that the average birth weight of white infants is higher than that of Negro newborn infants, and since our clinic population is composed mainly of white children, this study was restricted to the birth weight of white infants. |
