Abstract

Objectives: To assess the prevalence of congenital heart disease in children under 6 years of age in Lao Cai.


Methodology: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 1,087 children who underwent screening echocardiography at Lao Cai Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital and 8 district general hospitals in Lao Cai. Demographic information, risk factors, and heart conditions were recorded and analyzed.


Results: A total of 69 children were diagnosed with congenital heart disease (6.3%), with the most common risk factor being preterm birth.


Conclusion: More research is needed to fully capture the prevalence of congenital heart disease in Lao Cai.
