Increased nuchal translucency in children with congenital heart defects and normal karyotype—is there a correlation with mortality?

Abstract excerpt

Objectives: Our objective was to investigate if an increased nuchal translucency (NT) was associated with higher mortality in chromosomally normal children with congenital heart defects (CHD). Methods: In a nationwide cohort using population-based registers, we identified 5,633 liveborn children in Denmark with a pre- or postnatal diagnosis of CHD from 2008 to 2018 (incidence of CHD 0.7%).
