Incidence, distribution, disease spectrum, and genetic deficits of congenital heart defects in China: implementation of prenatal ultrasound screening identified 18,171 affected fetuses from 2,452,249 pregnancies

Abstract Background Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most common birth defects. Assessment of the incidence, distribution, disease spectrum, and genetic deficits of fetal CHDs in China is urgently needed. Methods A national echocardiography screening program for fetal CHDs was implemented in...
