To evaluate how prenatal diagnosis of critical congenital heart disease affects mortality and morbidity after birth.
Conducted a retrospective cohort study analyzing cases of critical congenital heart disease.
Examined postnatal outcomes based on prenatal diagnosis status.
Analyzed the impact of surgical interventions on patient outcomes.
