ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the obstetric complications associated with isolated fetal congenital heart disease (CHD) by comparing pregnancies with and without this condition.METHODS:
In this retrospective matched comparative study at Siriraj Hospital, Thailand, we included 233 postnatally confirmed fetal CHD cases and 466 unaffected fetuses. Controls were selected at a 21 ratio, ensuring that they matched the cases in terms of maternal age, parity, and history of preterm deliveries.RESULTS:
Fetal CHD was significantly associated with an increased risk of spontaneous preterm labor (30% vs 9.7%; adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.42; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.35-4.36; P = 0.003), delivery before 34 gestational weeks (11.6% vs 0.6%; aOR 12.33; 95% CI 3.32-45.78; P < 0.001), and pre-eclampsia (11.6% vs 2.8%; aOR 2.19; 95% CI 1.01-4.76; P = 0.047). Newborns with CHD were significantly more likely to be small for gestational age (10.7% vs 5.2%; aOR 2.09; 95% CI 1.11-3.94; P = 0.022). Intriguingly, a prenatal diagnosis of CHD was associated with a reduced risk of preterm delivery in affected pregnancies (P = 0.002).CONCLUSION:
Pregnancies affected by isolated fetal CHD demonstrated a higher propensity for several adverse outcomes. These findings underscore the importance of prenatal CHD detection and tailored perinatal care to potentially improve both pregnancy outcomes and neonatal health.
