Background: The purpose of this study was to explore the clinical value
and prognosis of the “prenatal diagnosis-postnatal treatment” model for fetuses
with complex congenital heart disease (CHD) by directly comparing the outcomes
between prenatal and postnatal diagnosis. Methods: A total of 126
infants with complex CHD diagnosed by prenatal diagnosis and 160 infants with
complex CHD diagnosed by postnatal diagnosis in Guangdong Provincial People’s
Hospital from January 2012 to December 2017 were enrolled in this retrospective
study. The gestational age, birth weight, delivery mode, postpartum termination
rate, qualified rate of follow-up assessment of pediatric heart surgery,
postoperative complications, postoperative death, time of ventilator weaning, the
length of postoperative hospital stay and prognosis were compared between the two
groups. Results: There were no significant differences in delivery mode,
premature birth rate, gestational age, birth weight, and mean maternal age
between the two groups (p
