Because of the large population base in China, the number of new cases of CHD per year is huge. It is estimated that more than 130 thousand patients with CHD will be added per year in China. According to another study reported in 2014, CHD was present in 8.94 of every 1000 live births in China, among which, the incidence of critical CHD (CCHD), causing death or requiring invasive intervention during the first month of life, was 2.91‰ [2]. …
