Key result
Among 120 neonates born to mothers with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, 15% had congenital heart defects, with patent ductus arteriosus and ventricular septal defects being the most common.
Why the study?
Maternal insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus increases the risk of congenital malformations, but the spectrum of congenital heart diseases in these neonates warranted identification.
Population
120 consecutive neonates aged 0-28 days of mothers with IDDM

In neonates born to mothers with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, there is a 15% prevalence of congenital heart disease, highlighting the need for routine prenatal and postnatal screening in this high-risk population.
Sharifi et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Congenital heart defects (n=120). Maternal insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus was evaluated on Prevalence of congenital heart diseases (CHDs). Among 120 neonates born to mothers with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, 15% had congenital heart defects, with patent ductus arteriosus and ventricular septal defects being the most common.
