Title / Titel	Impact of prenatal diagnosis on outcome of univentricular heart disease
PDF	Abstract (PDF, 14 KB)
Summary / Zusammenfassung	The aim of the project is to assess the impact of prenatal diagnosis of a single ventricle CHD on the neonatal survival and on the early postoperative outcome of these children. The medical records of 98 patients with SV diagnosed either prenatally or postnatally between October 2000 and October 2007 will be retrospectively analysed regarding termination of pregnancy, prenatal or postnatal death, treatment, early postoperative morbidity and mortality. The influence of prenatal diagnosis on survival and morbidity will be assessed by statistical comparison of the two groups, prenatal and postnatal diagnosis.
