Maternal exposures, congenital heart defects, and child development
This national multi-disciplinary project addresses the critical need to improve health outcomes across the Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) life-course. The research program proposes a “two level” approach to generating important and clinically relevant research outcomes; (i) through generating data from 25,000 child and adult cases of CHD from sites across Australia, with linkage to survival and health care utilisation (a National CHD Registry) and (ii) applying comprehensive phenotyping to 2,400 paediatric/adult cases living with CHD that provides the information required to target critical psychological, mental health, neurocognitive and quality of life outcomes in CHD patients and the parents of CHD children.
