Why the study?
What is the antenatal detection rate of congenital heart disease by routine ultrasound examination?
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.
Suboptimal TGA detection supports targeted screening audits; leaves open impact on perinatal outcomes.
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.
