| Abstract | ||
| Introduction: Babies of diabetic mothers (IDM) have a higher chance of congenital defects. transposition of the Aortic stenosis, great arteries, and ventricular septal defect are the three most common cardiac defects in IDMs. Aim of the study: Estimating the incidence of infants with cardiac abnormalities whose mothers have diabetes in Fayoum University Hospital. Subjects and Methods: The research used a case-control methodology. By using the exclusion criteria—newborns with chromosomal abnormalities—all births from diabetic moms who managed their diabetes well or poorly were compared to healthy births from non-diabetic mothers. Delivery data from February to September of 2023 was used in the analysis. Data were gathered at Fayoum University Hospital through chart review utilizing the Best-Care system. The statistical analysis was conducted using IBM Corp.'s (Armonk, NY, USA) Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Results: There was a statistically significant greater percentage of cardiac anomalies in both group I and II in comparison to group III but no distinction among both group I, and II in cardiac anomalies p-value <0.05. In contrast, there wasn’t statistically significant variation with p-value >0.05 as regards types of cardiac anomalies between the three study groups. Conclusions: In this cohort study, 61.1% of newborns whose moms were included had heart abnormalities. PFO was the most common echocardiographic abnormality seen in diabetic newborns. Mothers with poorly managed diabetes had a greater risk of heart abnormalities. | ||
