Congenital heart disease: A 10 year cohort
Abstract
In order to describe the epidemiology of congenital heart disease in Western Australia, a retrospective, population-based cohort study was conducted using data collected from multiple sources of ascertainment by the Western Australian Birth Defects Registry. The prevalence of congenital heart disease was 7.65 per 1000 total births. Nine per cent of all cases had a chromosomal disorder, another 17% had extracardiac defects in addition to congenital heart disease, and 75% had isolated congenital heart disease. Congenital heart disease was more common in Aboriginal compared with non-Aboriginal infants, and in multiple births compared with singletons. Compared with infants weighing 3000 to 3499 g, infants of lower birthweight were more likely to have congenital heart disease, and infants in the heaviest category (> or = 3500 g) were less likely to have congenital heart disease. Three per cent of all stillbirths were known to have a cardiac defect, as were 15.2% of neonatal deaths and 10.8% of post-neonatal deaths.

The CC rates of cardiac anomalies are slightly higher than the rate reported among all births.
“The incidence of cardiac anomalies in the letrozole group was slightly lower than the rate of congenital cardiac anomalies reported among all births (0.4 -1.2%) (13)(14)(15)(16), and the CC rates are slightly higher.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
