Environmental Contaminants and Congenital Heart Defects: A Re-Evaluation of the Evidence

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2018
Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are a common birth defect of largely unknown etiology, with high fetal and neonatal mortality. A review of CHDs and environmental contaminant exposure found that meta-analyses showed only modest associations for smoking ...

Quality of life in children with infrequent congenital heart defects: cohort study with one-year of follow-up

Health and Quality of Life Outcomes, 2020
Background The evidence regarding patient related outcomes in children with infrequent congenital heart defects (I-CHD) is very limited. We sought to measure quality of life (QoL) in children with I-CHD, and secondarily, to describe QoL changes after one-
