Amaç: Çalışmada, yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitemizde izlenen yenidoğanlar içerisinde konjenital kalp hastalığı tanısı alan hastaların sıklığı ve hastalık dağılımının retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2012-Haziran 2013 tarihleri arasında hastanemiz yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde izlenen hastaların dosyaları retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Doğum şekli, doğum ağırlığı, cinsiyeti, yatış nedenleri, intrauterin tanı alıp almadıkları, ekokardiyografi sonuçları kaydedildi.Bulgular: Yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesine bu dönem içerisinde 631 bebek yatırılmıştı. Bunların %68.9’u term doğum ve %53.7’i erkekti. Konjenital kalp hastalığı tanısı alan bebeklerin %88.8’i (n=56) kardiyovasküler sistem dışı nedenler ile hastaneye yatırılmışlardı. Tanı alan bebeklerin en sık yatış nedeni solunum sıkıntısı (%46)’dı. Ekokardiyografik inceleme yapılan 123 hastanın %48.8’inde normal bulgular elde edildi ve 63’ünde (%51.2) konjenital kalp hastalığı saptandı. Hastaların %30.2’inde ventriküler septal defekt, %22.2’inde atriyal septal defekt, %22.2’inde patent duktus arteriozus, %11.1’inde periferik pulmoner stenoz, %3.2’inde biküspit aorta, %9.5’inde atriyoventriküler septal defekt, %1.6’ında triküspit yetmezlik saptandı. Konjenital kalp hastalığı saptanan sekiz bebeğin (%12.6) annesinde diyabetes mellitus öyküsü mevcuttu. Bu bebeklerde en sık ventriküler septal defekt ve atriyal septal defekt saptandı.Sonuç: Yenidoğanlar yoğunbakım ünitesine kardiyovasküler sistem dışı nedenlerle yatırılmış olsa bile, dikkatli fizik muayene ve izlem, konjenital kalp hastalıklarının erken tanı ve tedavisi açısından önemlidir. Konjenital kalp hastalığı şüphesi olduğunda ekokardiyografik değerlendirmenin yapılması gerektiğini düşünülmüştür.
Objective: The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the frequency and distribution of congenital heart disease in the infants monitored in our neonatal intensive care unit.Material and Methods: The files of the infants hospitalized in our neonatal intensive care unit between January 2012 and June 2013 were evaluated retrospectively. Data related to type of delivery, birth weight, gender, congenital heart disease diagnosed intrauterine or not, diagnosis at hospitalization and echocardiographic results were considered.results: There were 631 infants monitored in our neonatal intensive care unit during the study period. Among them, 68.9% were term and 53.7% were male, 88.8% of the infants (n=56) with congenital heart disease were admitted to the hospital for a complaint unrelated to the cardiovascular system. Respiratory problems were the most common reason of admission (46%). Echocardiography was performed in 123 infants; 48.8% of them had normal findings, while 51.2% (63) had congenital heart disease. We found ventricular septal defect (30.2%), atrial septal defect (22.2%), ductus arteriosus (22.2%), peripheral pulmonary stenosis (11.1%), bicuspid aorta (3.2%), atrioventricular septal defect (9.5%), and tricuspid deficiency (1.6%) in these infants. The mothers of eight infants (12.6%) with congenital heart disease had diabetes. These infants mostly had ventricular septal defect and atrial septal defect.conclusion: Careful examination and follow-up of a neonate are important for early diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart disease, even when they present to a hospital with a complaint unrelated to the cardiovascular system. We believe that echocardiographic evaluation is necessary, in case of a suspicion of congenital heart disease

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
