Sažetak
The aim was to assess the frequency and success rate of prenatal diagnosis of
congenital heart diseases (CHDs) in live-born neonates using ultrasound, as well as the occurrence of
different types of CHD in the tertiary medical care institution in the period from January 1, 2016 till
December 31, 2020. In this retrospective study, data were collected by reviewing medical history of
both mothers and newborns. During the study period, there were 13,932 childbirths, and 42 newborns
were diagnosed with CHD. Excluding the diagnoses of persistent duct of Botallo (n=4) and CHDs
arising as a consequence of maternal condition (n=2), out of 36 newborns, 31 (86%) were diagnosed
prenatally and 5 (14%) postnatally. Th e prevalence of CHDs was 30 per 10,000 births (3.0‰). In
conclusion, the rate of prenatal diagnosis of CHDs was very high. The prevalence of CHDs was
substantially lower than the European average published in the EUROCAT study for the 2016-2019
period. Additional education and examination algorithms need to be implemented to achieve more
successful rates of prenatally diagnosed CHDs recorded in the best centers across Europe and the
world.
