Implication

High mortality with structural defects warrants cautious fetal counseling; leaves open need for prospective studies to refine risk stratification.

Structured PICO

P
Population
193 fetuses with cardiac abnormalities detected by echocardiography (out of 422 fetuses between 16 and 41 gestational weeks referred to paediatric cardiologists for detailed echocardiography)
O
Outcome
Mortality/survivalhard clinical

Fetal structural heart defects carry a high mortality rate (67%), whereas isolated fetal arrhythmias have an excellent survival rate (95%).
