Abstract
In the high infant mortality rate (IMR) areas, most of the neonatal deaths are attributed to preventable causes like pneumonia and birth asphyxia. However, once the IMR values start declining due to improvement in these factors the proportion of childhood deaths due to congenital malformations like CCHD becomes more important. Neonates included in the study were asymptomatic neonates (term and late preterm) delivered in the tertiary care hospital. The study was commenced after obtaining clearance from the institutional ethical committee. Parents of all neonates were given written informed consent forms for this study and neonates of those who were unwilling were excluded from the study. All those neonates who had a diagnosis of duct dependent circulation on antenatal sonogram were also excluded. Mean birth weight of neonates was 2770±450grams with a maximum weight of 4260 grams and minmum of 900 grams. Mean length was 48.63±1.57 cm with a maximum length of 52cm and minimum of 44cm. Mean head circumference was 34.35 ± 0.67cm with a maximum of 36cm and minimum of 33cm.
