SOME RISK FACTORS FOR CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE IN CHILDREN UNDER 5 YEARS OLD AT TUYEN QUANG GENERAL HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To analyze risk factors for congenital heart disease (CHD) in children under 5 years old at Tuyen Quang General Hospital during 2023-2024.Subjects: The study group consisted of 168 children under 5 years old diagnosed with CHD, and the control group included 336 children without CHD or other congenital defects who visited Tuyen Quang General Hospital for consultation or treatment. Method: Case-control study. Results: Several risk factors for CHD in children under 5 years old were identified in this study, including maternal flu (OR = 2,3; 95% CI: 1,4-3,8), diabetes (OR = 3,2; 95% CI: 1,5-6,9), hypertension (OR = 2,8; 95% CI: 1,4-5,9), history of miscarriage or abortion (OR = 2,0; 95% CI: 1,2-3,5), and the father being ≥ 40 years old at the time of conception (OR = 4,2; 95% CI: 1,4-12,3). Conclusion: Maternal flu, diabetes, hypertension during pregnancy, history of miscarriage or abortion, and a father aged ≥ 40 years at the time of conception are risk factors for congenital heart disease.
