Abstract

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is associated not only with structural cardiac abnormalities but also with a substantial burden of non-cardiac morbidity. Improvements in diagnosis, surgery, intensive care, and long-term survival have changed the clinical profile of affected children. Objective: To compare the morbidity profile observed in an original 1989–1995 cohort of children with CHD in Tashkent with contemporary evidence and to identify changes in the structure of associated disease and health-care needs.
