Abstract

Background/objective: Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is an abnormality in the heart's structure or function present from birth. Indonesia reports over 40,000 new cases annually. Despite the heavy burden, data on CHD characteristics in East Nusa Tenggara remain limited.

Objective: To investigate the clinical and demographic characteristics of CHD patients in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, and to describe their presenting symptoms and complications.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 148 CHD patients enrolled between August 1, 2023, and December 31, 2024, at Prof. W.Z. Johannes Regional Hospital, Kupang. Clinical profiles and demographic data were collected from the cardiology department's registers. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS® version 30.

Results: Acyanotic CHD (ACHD) was more prominent, accounting for 83.7% of cases, with atrial septal defect (ASD) being the most common (30.4%). Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) was the most common type of cyanotic CHD (4.1%). The largest age group was neonates (37.2%). Almost half (45.3%) of the patients were underweight. Respiratory infections (25%) were the most common complication.

Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrate the dominance of acyanotic lesions and reveal a high prevalence of malnutrition among CHD patients in Kupang. These findings provide baseline data to enhance early detection, nutritional optimization, and the strengthening of CHD care services in areas of eastern Indonesia.

印度尼西亚东部先天性心脏病的临床特征：来自主要转诊中心的回顾性研究。

背景/目的：先天性心脏病（CHD）是一种先天性心脏结构或功能异常。印度尼西亚每年报告4万多例新病例。尽管负担沉重，但关于东努沙登加拉地区冠心病特征的数据仍然有限。目的：了解东努沙登加拉古邦地区冠心病患者的临床和人口学特征，并描述其表现症状和并发症。方法：我们对2023年8月1日至2024年12月31日在古邦约翰内斯地区医院登记的148例冠心病患者进行了回顾性研究。临床概况和人口统计数据从心脏科的登记册中收集。采用IBM SPSS®version 30进行统计分析。结果：无氰型冠心病（ACHD）最为突出，占83.7%，其中以房间隔缺损（ASD）最为常见，占30.4%。法洛四联症（TOF）是紫绀型冠心病最常见的类型（4.1%）。最大的年龄组是新生儿（37.2%）。近一半（45.3%）的患者体重过轻。呼吸道感染（25%）是最常见的并发症。结论：本研究结果表明无氰病变占主导地位，并揭示了古邦冠心病患者营养不良的高发率。这些发现为印度尼西亚东部地区加强早期发现、营养优化和加强冠心病护理服务提供了基线数据。
