What is the antenatal detection rate of congenital heart disease by routine ultrasound examination?
Routine obstetric anomaly scanning for congenital heart disease, particularly TGA, is suboptimal in Victoria, highlighting a need for quality improvement in antenatal screening.
This study shows wide variation in the antenatal detection rate of CHD in Victoria. The low antenatal detection rate of TGA, a defect that should be detected easily, demonstrates suboptimal routine obstetric anomaly scanning.
