To estimate the overall proportion of each endpoint, a meta-analysis of proportions was employed using a random-effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I² value. Thirty-two studies reporting on 746 fetuses with HLHS and I/RAS met our inclusion criteria. Eleven studies (123 fetuses) were in the FASI group and 21 studies (623 fetuses) were in the EM group.
