THE PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN WITH CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS, DEPENDING ON THE METHODS OF THEIR MANAGEMENT

Congenital heart defects (CHD) are an important problem in pediatrics due to their high prevalence and the need for early surgical correction due to significant health disorders and disability in children (Bokeria L.A., Sarsenbayeva G.I., 2008; Gadaeva A.C., 2011).

About 1.5 million children with CHD are born annually in the world [3,7]. According to the European Registry of Congenital Abnormalities and Twins (EUROCAT), for the period 2010-2014, the prevalence of CHD was 8.1, including severe forms — 2.2 per 1000 newborns [7.9]. CHD remains one of the leading causes of infant mortality, ranking second. In the perinatal period, CHD causes 2.5% of deaths (0.25 cases per 1000 births), 6-11% of deaths in the first year of life and about 50% of deaths associated with congenital malformations.

In Uzbekistan, the birth rate of children with congenital heart defects ranges from 5.5 to 12.7 people per 1000 live births [8]. The frequency of CHD depends on the development of the country's healthcare system or the diagnostic methods available to the doctor.
