Congenital Heart Disease: Epidemiological and Echocardiographic Aspects of 167 Cases at The Teaching Hospital of Lamorde / Niamey / Niger
Open accessAbstract
Introduction Congenital heart disease are abnormalities of the heart that appear during heart formation during intrauterine life [1]. Their incidence is estimated between 7 to 8 per 1,000 births, according to the literature [2]. Doppler echocardiography is nowadays the essential examination in the diagnosis of congenital heart disease. This is how we decided to do this study entitled "Epidemiological and echocardiographic aspects of 167 cases at Lamorde university hospital." In order to have an inventory of congenital heart disease, In Niger.

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.
