Abstract

Morbidity and mortality due to congenital heart disease was primarily caused by delay in diagnosis. Early screening of neonates at birth identifies congenital heart disease and decreases complications related to delayed diagnosis. To assess delayed in diagnosis of congenital heart disease and associated factors among pediatric patients who were registered in Cardiac Center Ethiopia from January 1, 2018, to December 30, 2020. Institutional based cross-sectional study design was used to assess delayed in diagnosis of congenital heart disease and associated factors among pediatric patients in the cardiac center in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and charts were selected using systematic random sampling out of 216 registered congenital heart disease pediatrics patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The data was entered into Epi-data version 3.1 for cleaning and completeness and exported to SPSS version 23 for analysis. Then by binary logistic regression variables which p-value < 0.25 was identified and moved to multivariate logistic regression. Any statistical test with p-value < 0.05 at 95% CI was considered as statistically significant. In this study, 216 children were included, delayed diagnosis of CHD was identified in 206 (95.4%) record reviews. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, Maternal education for those who were illiterate mothers was 89.7% than delay in diagnosis of literate mother [AOR=0.103 (95% CI= (0.022-0.493)]. Place of child delivery in Health center about 97% delay in diagnosis of CHD than delivery in hospitals AOR=0.030 (95% CI= (0.003-0.293)]. Gestational age in weeks during delivery term baby 87.6% delay in diagnosis of CHD than preterm baby [AOR=0.124 (95% CI (0.020-0.758)]. The overall delay in the diagnosis of CHD was 95.4%. Maternal education, place of child delivery, and gestational age were independently associated with the delayed diagnosis of CHD. Health institutions are strongly recommended to give training to health care providers on screening of CHD during delivery.
