Determining the factors causing delayed referral for fetal echocardiography at a tertiary care hospital
ConclusionOn the basis of the results, it could be concluded that delayed presentation for fetal echocardiography was not associated with the educational status of females. By contrast, referral personnel were found to be responsible for the delayed referral of females. Therefore, we strongly recommend that both pregnant women and gynecologists be educated about the importance of timely diagnosis for identification of congenital heart diseases.
