Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to assess the nutritional status of children with congenital heart disease at E hospital in 2023 - 2024. Subjects: 89 children aged under 5 years were diagnosed with congenital heart disease and treated at E hospital from August 1, 2023 to June 31, 2024. Methods: There was  a cross-sectional descriptive study. Results: Nutrition status of pediatric patients: Normal 47.2%, malnourished 52.8%; The prevalence of underweight, stunting and wasting was 40.4%, 38.2% and 16.9% respectively; Most the children were diagnosed with complex congenital heart disease 36%; The group of children > 6 - 12 months old has the highest rate of underweight malnutrition and wasting malnutrition at 43.8% and 18.8% respectively; Patients with complex congenital heart disease with multiple combined cardiac malformations (≥ 2 malformations) had a higher risk of stunting than children with single congenital heart disease, the difference was statistically significant with p = 0.002. Conclusion: The prevalence of malnutrition in children with congenital heart disease is higher than that of children without congenital heart disease. Children with complex congenital heart disease have a higher risk of stunting than children with single congenital heart disease.
