Abstract
Congenital heart diseases (CHD) are among the most common congenital disorders globally. Prenatal ultrasound is pivotal for the early detection of CHD, which can significantly influence neonatal outcomes and management. This prospective cohort study involved 70 pregnancies suspected of CHD based on prenatal ultrasound findings. The study focused on correlating these findings with neonatal outcomes post‐delivery. The study spanned from January 2023 to December 2023, conducted at a tertiary care center. Early prenatal detection of CHD via ultrasound showed significant associations with various neonatal outcomes, including the need for immediate cardiac interventions and longer hospital stays. This study underscores the importance of detailed prenatal ultrasounds for predicting and better preparing for adverse neonatal outcomes in cases of CHD. Early detection facilitates timely interventions, potentially improving survival and quality of life.
