Article Synopsis
- The study examined how often pregnancies are terminated due to congenital heart defects (CHD) and compared fetal echocardiography (FECHO) with autopsy findings.
- Between 2008 and 2017, out of 116,698 live births, 293 CHDs were identified, and 49% of families chose to terminate the pregnancy, with autopsy confirming CHDs in 99% of those cases.
- FECHO demonstrated a high agreement with autopsy findings (85%) but missed some minor defects; it is effective for detecting CHD, yet not exhaustive in identifying all cardiac issues.
