Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect in the United States. Neonates with CHD are often cared for by neonatologists in addition to cardiologists. However, there is a paucity of rigorous evidence and limited clinical trials regarding the management of neonates with CHD. In this review, we will describe some of the challenges of research in this field. The Pediatric Heart Network serves as an example of how a research network can effectively overcome barriers to conduct and execute well-designed multicenter studies.
先天性心脏病(CHD)是美国最常见的出生缺陷。除了心脏病专家外,新生儿 CHD 患者通常还由新生儿科医生进行治疗。然而,对于新生儿 CHD 的管理,目前相关的严格证据和临床试验都很有限。在这篇综述中,我们将描述该领域研究面临的一些挑战。儿科心脏网络(Pediatric Heart Network)就是一个研究网络如何有效克服障碍、开展和执行精心设计的多中心研究的范例。
