简要总结
Congenital heart disease (CHD) defined as anatomic malformation of the heart and great vessels which occurs during intrauterine development irrespective of the age of presentation(1) It is classified into acyanotic and cyanotic depending upon whether the patients clinically exhibit cyanosis(2) .
It is the most common human developmental anomaly with a reported prevalence of between 4 to 10 per 1000 live birth (3-6).
The variety and severity of clinical presentation depend on the cardiac structures involved and their functional impact (7).
Previous studies have found that, although birth weight for gestational age is usually normal in patients with congenital heart disease, young children often present with impaired growth parameters (8,9) The underlying causes of this failure to thrive may be multifactorial including innate growth potential, severity of cardiac underlying disease, increased energy requirements ,decreased nutritional intake, malabsorption and poor utilization of absorbed nutrients .these factor are particularly common and sever in low and middle income countries (11) Several studies suggest that the failure to thrive is associated with poorer cognitive development, learning disabilities, and long term behavioral problems more recently Corbett et al (12) detected a significant association between the severity of growth deficiency and IQ ,whereas Raynor and Rudolf (13) found that 55% of the infants who were failing to thrive exhibited developmental delay .In addition , A study by Reif et al (14) reported that children with a history of failure to thrive were found to have more learning difficulties and evidenced developmental delay at follow up 5 years after the initial presentation(15).
Achieving survival is not the only target of clinicians for these patients, appropriate growth, development and improved quality of life are also very important.
The management of children with congenital heart disease require multidisciplinary approach,in which the nutritional aspect plays an important role ,an adequate caloric intake, in fact this improve the out come of these patients.(7) This study will asses the nutritional status for patients with congenital heart disease Who are admitted at assiut university hospital children and adopting a protocol for nutritional support for them.
详细描述
- Full history taking including date of birth,gender,residence,and socioeconomic status.
According To Socioeconomic status we will ask about where the family live,family income (high or middle or low income) Perinatal history as maternal age,gestational diseases,medications use during pregnancy,irradiation exposure ,presence of antenatal care.
Natal hisrory ;mode of delivery(vainal,cesarean) ,site of delivery (home,hospital) Post natal history; required resuscitation or not,cyanosis,jaundice and incubator care needed or not,birth weight will be categorized into appropriate ,small or large for gestational age.
Feeding history; breast or formula feeding,age of weaning ,type of food for weaning, supplementation of vitamin D.iron. 2. All patients will subject to general and systemic examination. Children included in our study will fall under Complete general and systemic examination especially heart disease. 3. Nutritional assessment and anthropometric measures will be followed up to these patients; AThe weight ; will be taken on a scale that has been properly calibrated and the value will be plotted on a standardized WHO growth chart .
B)The height ; this measurement for children more than 2years will be taken without shoes using astadiometer and the value will be plotted on the WHO growth chart.
