Summary

This study will review medical records of 72 children aged 1 month to 2 years with congenital heart disease (CHD) to see how their growth compares to healthy children. Researchers will measure weight, height, and head circumference. The goal is to understand which types of CHD affect growth most, helping doctors improve nutrition and care for these children.

The study population consists of infants and young children (aged 1 month to 2 years) who were diagnosed with congenital heart disease (CHD) by echocardiography and were followed at the Pediatric Cardiology Unit of Assiut University Children Hospital. This is a retrospective cohort; participants are identified through a review of existing hospital medical records. The population includes patients with various types of CHD (both cyanotic and acyanotic) who have not yet undergone corrective cardiac surgery or intervention.
