Maternal congenital heart disease linked to increased developmental vulnerability in children: Population-based cohort study
By
Muhammad Zakir Hossin ,
Summary
This population-based cohort study by Muhammad Hossin and colleagues examines whether maternal congenital heart disease (CHD) is associated with increased risk of developmental vulnerability in offspring during early school age. The study included 256,629 singleton births in British Columbia, Canada (1995-2016), with follow-up through teacher-rated Early Development Instrument (EDI) surveys administered in kindergarten around ages 5-6. The research investigates developmental outcomes across multiple domains to assess the intergenerational impact of maternal CHD on child development.
