Surveillance of ventricular septal defects in Delaware

ConclusionThe BDR team chose to include all babies with all types of VSDs. Using these criteria Delaware's prevalence of 78.7 was higher than that reported by other states (whose prevalence ranges from 1.6 to 70.0 per 10,000 live births) (National Birth Defects Prevention Network, ). Delaware's prevalence is similar to other states when small muscular VSDs are excluded. Birth Defects Research (Part A) 106:888–893, 2016. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
