About this trial
Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) often experience growth problems. This study aims to assess and compare the growth (weight, height, head circumference) of infants and children with CHD against the expected growth standards for healthy children. This is a retrospective study that will review the medical records of children aged 1 month to 2 years who were diagnosed with CHD at Assiut University Children Hospital. The study will help understand how different types of CHD affect a child's growth, which is important for improving their nutritional care and overall management.
