Popis: Aim: To evaluate the association between small for gestational age (SGA) and the prevalence of congenital heart disease (CHD) and the association of the SGA status with the outcomes among infants with CHD.Methods: Echocardiography was performed within the first 5 days of life in 5664 consecutive infants. Infants were classified into four groups according to the presence or absence of SGA and CHD. All CHD infants were followed up until either spontaneous resolution of all cardiac lesions, invasive intervention, or death. All newborns without CHD were followed for mortality until the final follow-up date.Results: A total of 303 infants were diagnosed with CHD, while 610 were diagnosed with SGA. Among the CHD infants, 56 were SGA, and 247 were not. A multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the adjusted odds ratio of SGA (9.71, p
Key Notes:・Little is known about the association between congenital heart disease (CHD) and small for gestational age (SGA) and its effect on infants’ outcomes in a large-scale study.・We evaluated the association between SGA and prevalence of CHD and the association of SGA status with outcomes among infants with CHD.・The combination of CHD and SGA carried a high risk of death beyond that of CHD or SGA alone.
