Assessing the Utility of Targeted Neonatal Echocardiography for Congenital Heart Disease Detection: Retrospective Cohort Analysis.
Purpose: Targeted neonatal echocardiography (TNE) is increasingly utilized by neonatologists to assess hemodynamics, particularly when cardiology-performed echocardiography (CPE) is unavailable. It is crucial that TNE screens and identifies structural abnormalities. This study evaluated the agreement between TNE and CPE in detecting significant congenital heart disease (CHD).
Methods: This retrospective, single-center cohort study included infants who underwent TNE between 2015 and 2019 and had at least one complete CPE before discharge. Infants with a known CHD diagnosis prior to TNE were excluded. Atrial septal defects (ASD) < 3 mm, peripheral pulmonary stenosis, and patent ductus arteriosus were excluded. Agreement between TNE and CPE was assessed using correlation coefficients and kappa statistics.
Results: A total of 339 infants with 954 TNE scans were included. TNE identified CHD in 41 infants, with all but one (a false positive bicuspid aortic valve) confirmed by CPE. TNE missed CHD in 29 infants (31 lesions), mostly minor, with only one case (pulmonary stenosis) requiring intervention. The overall agreement was 91.15%, with a kappa of 0.68 (p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: TNE demonstrated good agreement with CPE in detecting significant CHD in a low-risk neonatal population. Most missed lesions were minor, underscoring the importance of ongoing training and quality assurance.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography.
The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents.
JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
