In this study, newborns with congenital heart disease in the Cukurova University Neonatal Intensive Care Unit during 2007-2011 have been retrospectively evaluated. The incidence of congenital heart disease in newborn babies admitted to the NICU in the 5 years studied was 6.6% (217/3287 patients). 133 (61.3%) of the patients were cyanotic; 76 (35.1%) were acyanotic. Phenotypic malformations were diagnosed in 18 patients, and genetic syndromes in 12 patients. Catheterization-based interventions or cardiac surgery (61 catheter angiographies and 70 surgical procedures) were performed on 112 (51.6%) patients at mean 5.8 ± 7.4 days of admission by pediatric cardiologists or surgeons. 67 (30.8%) of patients with cardiac malformations died during the neonatal period.
