Objective: Limited population-based studies are available on the survival of congenital heart disease (CHD) from lower- and middle-income countries. Therefore, we evaluated the survival from birth until 15 years and associated factors for mortality.
Methods: This population-based cohort study included all children with CHD registered in the Pediatric Cardiology Clinical Information System born between 2006 and 2020 in Johor, Malaysia.
Limited data on the survival of anorectal malformation (ARM) patients from lower- and middle-income countries is available. This retrospective population-based study from the State of Johor, Malaysia, determines the incidence, mortality rate, and survival of ARM patients and factors associated with mortality. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to estimate the survival of ARM patients at 1, 5, and 10 years.

- Overweight and obese children face risks of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and abnormal pulmonary function (PF).
- A study involving 74 children found that as OSA severity increased, measures of lung function like forced expiratory volume (FEV) and forced vital capacity (FVC) decreased.
- Findings suggest a significant link between BMI, OSA severity, and pulmonary function, indicating that children with OSA show notable lung function issues regardless of their BMI.
